for Ted's Montana Grill's guacamole and Todd
Richards of The Pig & The Pearl
and The Shed at Glenwood
will be roasting fennel for an autumnal salad. Feeling inspired? Find recipes for these dishes and
others on the night’s menu online or register here for $300 per person and experience the deliciousness for yourself.
