Wow...this is going to be amazing!

Look at what we tasted!  Thanks to all who came out to Unity Temple this evening to sample some of the amazing food that will be served, and taste our signature drink...we are so excited.  Don't forget to buy your tickets now because once the buzz starts, we want everyone to be able to come.  Below is a picture and description of just one of the items we tasted this evening!

Southern Comfort:  Designed to pair with your signature cocktail, this hearty appetizer will soak up the booze and highlights all of the flavors of a deep south BBQ.  Pulled Pork Crostini with Brown Sugar Sweet Potato. Roasted Corn and Fried Pickle.  Fun Fact...BBQ rose in popularity in the 1920's because of a relationship between Henry Ford and the Kingsford family that resulted in manufacturing charcoal for the masses.
