The official countdown is on!! One week to go. That’s right, only seven days left before the one night a year I give myself permission to overindulge in the most decadent event that Atlanta has
to offer… and tell myself “it’s for a good cause.”
Chocolate! 2008, a fundraiser for
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, is Thursday, June 19, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. I have been spending a little extra time on the treadmill lately, since I know this event will send me home a few lbs heavier
than when I arrived (and not just because of the
silent auction winnings I’ll be carrying). Here is a pic of me at a previous Chocolate! event with Wynn, who I affectionately refer to as “Gerber Daisy Guy” (I’m sure it’s obvious why).
The evening, which will be sponsored by
glaceau smartwater®, will include a chocolate martini bar, a chocolate lager and a chocolate cappuccino tasting, full dinner buffet, silent auction and, of course, enchanting creations from 20 of
Atlanta’s best pastry chefs. Participants include
Fifth Group Restaurants®,
Home,
Morton’s The Steakhouse,
Rathbun’s,
Villa Christina, the evening’s gracious host, and more.
Here is a pic from a party I recently attended for the host committee, co-chaired by
Wes Moss, from
The Apprentice, and his cohort, Charles
Hodges, at Morton’s The Steakhouse in Buckhead. (Gerber Daisy Guy and me, again!) He promised me a dance at the event. Wynn, I’m holding
you to that!!!
