The rain came and went, but under the awning of the Richard Rodgers Amphitheater the party was in full swing. Literally. Swing dancers jumped and jived their way around the stage to a crowd that didn’t seem to care about a few drops (and sometimes showers) pouring down.

You have supported me at Red Rooster and now with the launch of Yes, Chef, but none of this would have been possible without you.  Read More
