Chef Night!
Bravo! The 14th annual Chef Night, held at the Embassy of Italy, raised over $160k and awareness for Montgomery Kids Pediatric Hospice, which “gentles the journey” for children with life-limiting illnesses. Always a favorite event, this year's was even better, as Italian DCM Luca Franchetti Pardo welcomed 225 guests who enjoyed an over-the-top gourmet Italian tasting menu. Rare wines flowed as guests brought their favorite vintages to share. MoCo Councilman Craig Rice, the evening’s auctioneer, whipped up a bidding frenzy for exclusive experiences. He's with WTOP Radio news co-anchor Hillary Howard, the night's emcee Ms. Media president Monika Samtani, Montgomery Pediatric Hospice volunteer Dr. Caren Glassman, and her husband, the inspiration behind the dinner, wealth manager extraordinaire Barry Glassman.
