Last Monday night was the FEASTIVAL* Patron Party at Percy Street Barbecue and so many of COOK’s instructors were there. We hung out with James Beard Foundation Award winner and host with the most Michael Solomonov and his right-hand woman there at Percy Street, Erin O’Shea. Peter Woolsey of Bistrot La Minette, Rob Wasserman of Rouge, Michael Schulson of Sampan, David Lipson and Jason Sheehan of Philly Mag, Art Etchells from Foobooz, Michael Klein from philly.com/food, Georges Perrier – and several others were all there to celebrate with FEASTIVAL’s sponsors. Check out all the photos of the event online.
The few hundred people in attendance ranged from chefs to media to politicians to performance artists – and last but not least – the sponsors of FEASTIVAL. This year’s presenting sponsors are Audi, Philadelphia magazine and PECO. Included alongside those three, helping to make the Festival and FEASTIVAL possible, are:
- PNC Arts Alive
- GPTMC and Philly Homegrown
- KYW 1060
- Arway
- Energy Plus
- Stuart Kingston Jewelers
- And many, many more! (For a full list of sponsors, click here)
Based on the amount of fun we had at this FEASTIVAL preview, I’d say the main event on September 14 should not be missed!!
*FEASTIVAL is the annual, culinary fundraiser for the Philadelphia Live Arts-Fringe Festival. It will take place on September 14 and tickets are now available online
