"The second annual Star Chefs food and beverage pairing event to benefit Momentum for Health, held on Sept 21 at the Glass House in downtown San Jose, was anchored by the amazing talent of 17 local chefs from San Jose to Palo Alto. They teamed up with local beverage providers to create an afternoon of convivial culinary competition all to benefit the 65-year-old organization that provides mental health services for Santa Clara County residents."
"This year's winning dish by Chef Jackie Jackson was a spicy smoked brisket beef and pepper jack cheese Soul Roll served in a fried wonton wrapper, along with a fried chicken version that contained mac 'n' cheese and collard greens, drizzled with sweet potato glaze. Both were served with Old Hillside Bourbon Whiskey sweet tea, made quite sweet to beat the heat."
