Savor Dallas :)


I didn't think things could get crazier than last weeks event. We were inundated at the Chef's Showcase by throngs of people wanting a tasty bit of Chad's creations. It didn't stop... all night long...and by the end of the night, I literally was willing to chop off my feet the first chance I got. Little did I know there were events that made the Chef Showcase look like childs play. I had no idea what to expect when Chad said it got worse. I didn't have a clue.... but i soon found out what he was talking about. They came fast and furiously... from all sides. Four straight hours of a sea of people eating and drinking from nearly ONE HUNDRED restaurants and wine makers from around the area. Everything you could imagine and all you could drink. Luckily I found a friend. To my pleasant surprise one of Chad's cooks brought their very lovely and super friendly wife along. We hit it off immediately and soon left the boys to make our rounds tasting all the wonderful delicacies everyone had to offer. It ended up being a great, belly filling evening full of great food and new friends. :)
Life before chaos...


Are you in there Chad??..... CHAD???...


Working his charm....
