Wild Boar, that's Amore!

I had the pleasure last week of participating in my 2nd Dinner in the Dark benefit! What an awesome event that Co-Founders Brian Okin & Jeff Jarrett have created here in Northeast Ohio! This event was at Trattoria Vaccaro in Akron & the food was amazing. Paired with wines to complement the food, the lineup was great. Participating chefs included Aaron Hervey of Crave, Josh Schory of Lucca, (the professor)Jimmy Pintiello from the Blue Door Cafe & Bakery, Matt Mathlage of Light Bistro & (soon to be) Peachtree Southern Kitchen in Hudson. The home team was led by Dick Kanatzar followed by yours truly & an amazing pumpkin dessert by Lauren Shaffer! When food meets a purpose other than just stuffing yourselves, it's even better & this night was all about the Akron Canton Regional Food bank & in the midst of @NOKIDHUNGRY month, it was a fitting "Call to Action". Here's to my new & old chef friends who participated & laid out something that goes like this. Cheers!
