27th Annual Great Chefs’ Dinner

Standing room only as The Family Tree kicked off its “27th Annual Great Chefs’ Dinner.” The crowd who turned out for the sold-out event enjoyed a cocktail hour…

…where they could peruse an extensive silent auction, while enjoying drinks and hors d’oeuvres before retiring to the Grand Lodge ballroom for a dinner created by four-time James Beard Award nominee Chef Edward Lee, the chef/owner of several Louisville, KY restaurants.
