In addition to the wide variety of tasting plates, this year’s guests enjoyed beverages from Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, El Buho Mezcal, Lagunitas, Rise Brewing Company, Spiked Seltzer and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. There were a number of auction items available, both silent and live, including weekend getaways, in home chef experiences and late night talk show tickets.
Food Rescue US CEO Carol Shattuck said, “We are thrilled that our seventh annual Food For All event was a great success. Everyone enjoyed tasting wonderful food and drinks from the fifteen Fairfield County restaurants and mixologists. Most importantly, we exceeded our goal and these funds will allow us to deliver 60,000 meals to food insecure children and families.”
