Chefs Take a Stand!

Placeholder

Last night we also went to Carnegie Library for the Chefs Take a Stand to end domestic violence soiree. We snapped the night’s emcee, ABC’s The Chew co-host and former Top Chef star Carla Hall, flanked by The World Bank’s Elizabeth Legrain, The Examiner’s Samantha Moore, National Network to End Domestic Violence’s (NNEDV) Cindy Southworth, and by Global Social Media News Services’ Lauren Reynolds.

Guests enjoyed treats from DC’s best restaurants. Our faves: Ris’ creamy tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. We also liked the spiked mudslides from Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats; here, its team, Angela Perotta, Erin Conners, Honey Morton, and Doron Petersan, who shared the secrets to her two successful wins on Cupcake Wars.
