10/3 CUESA Sunday Supper Reception

Ryan Farr & other meat mavens grill animals outside the Ferry Building
A fundraiser for CUESA‘s many endeavors is a pleasurable cause, especially when a slew of our best chefs and mixologists line the Ferry Building hall for a Sunday Supper reception. The reception included 30 bites, 5 cocktails and a mix of wines, then a move upstairs for a magical dinner under white lights with whole animals carved tableside that were just roasted outside. I only attended the reception but wanted to share a few highlights via photos…
