"Fusion of Flavors" Kicks off!

Father Rich, Chef Palomino and the talented Cafe Alma students

Last night, MK Event Studio and members of the Rye, Port Chester and Greenwich community celebrated food, wine and the pledge to better our society. Co-Chair Ann Heekin was the gracious hostess for the evening. The cultivation party took place to promote the 2nd Annual "Fusion of Flavors" event. "Fusion of Flavor's" goal is to raise money for the Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester, NY, specifically to fund its new culinary institute- Cafe Alma. The program is for both teens and adults and seeks to educate and inspire students on careers in the culinary arts.

The party took place on the large front porch. What a beautiful home!

We love our funky lime colored save the dates.    

Throughout the evening, students from Cafe Alma presented passed hors d'oeuvres crafted by Chef Rafael Palomino. Palomino's restaurants Sonora and Greenwich Tavern will both be featured at Fusion of Flavors, along with about eight other featured restaurants from the greater Port Chester area. Guests were able to take home Palomino's Latin Grill: Sultry and Simple Food for Red-Hot Dinners and Parties. Father Richard Alejunas gave a spectacular speech about the new culinary program and Don Bosco's mission to serve the young and the poor. Guests loved hanging out on Ann's large front porch. Her classic victorian home was spectacular, and was the perfect place to host a party. Make sure to keep a look out for more "Fusion of Flavors" info coming soon!
