Sweet Potato Dinner at The Asbury

 

One of my favorite events we get to do is the Farm to Fork events.  We work with many amazingly talented chefs & when we get to sample their creativity we always go away amazed!!

 

 

Last night was no different.  Chef Chris Coleman & his staff at The Asbury did an amazing job with the Sweet Potato Dinner.

 

We were able to join our friends from Barbee Farms, who provided the sweet potatoes & have a nice evening of fellowship & food.
