The Bloody Mary Festival

Sunday, March 11th, 2018
Noon – 3:30 pm (NOTE: only VIP tickets are still available, and those allow the early entry time of Noon)

Track One
1211 4th Ave S
Nashville, TN 37210

VIP Cost: $65

Note: this is a 21+ event

I’m so excited to be judging the Bloody Mary Festival happening next weekend. It’s definitely going to be a Sunday Funday!

The festival organizers have found twelve of the most creative and delicious Bloody Marys in Music City, and you get to spend a couple of hours sampling them all. General admission tickets have already sold out, but there are still some VIP passes left, which means that you get to access the event a full HOUR earlier than the GA ticket holders. In addition, you get tastings of all the Bloody Marys, samplings from all the local food & beverage artisans in attendance, an official fest tote bag, and a vote for the People’s Choice Award.

The event benefits Fannie Battle. Tickets can be purchased here.

Dumplings with Les Dames

Wednesday, March 21st, 2018
6 – 7:30 pm

Tánsuŏ
121B 12th Avenue North
Nashville, TN 37203

Cost: $40

A few years back, I was honored with an invitation to be one of the founding members of the Nashville chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier, an international organization of women leaders in food, beverage, and hospitality professions. The goal of the membership is to create a supportive culture in communities and provide leadership and educational opportunities, as well as host philanthropic events.

One of those fundraising events is coming up this month, when our organization, along with our fellow Dame, Chef Maneet Chauhan, is throwing a fun night of dumplings, dim sum, and drinks at Tànsuǒ. The proceeds will go to the Les Dames Nashville Scholarship Fund. Tickets include food and a signature cocktail, and can be purchased here.
