"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."
Seventeen local chefs from San Jose to Palo Alto paired with beverage providers for the second annual Star Chefs food and beverage pairing at the Glass House in downtown San Jose on Sept. 21. Over 300 attendees sampled dishes for three hours and voted for People's Choice, after which a live auction featuring wine, chef dinners, culinary trips, and winery tastings ran. The event raised over $250,000 for Momentum for Health, a 65-year-old mental health services organization serving Santa Clara County. Kathryn Williams and Brenda Hammond produced the event through their Table for Three partnership. Jackie's Place won People's Choice with Chef Jackie Jackson's Soul Roll dishes.
