Chef McGrady was extraordinary. This is our 12th year of having a celebrity chef fundraiser, and the only time the chef has received a standing ovation and truly adoring audience members--not to mention the food was amazing. I would be proud to recommend him to anyone. It's going to be almost impossible to surpass this experience next year.
