Chef Chair Sharon Van Meter and On Brand Hospitality’s Adrian Verdin are collaborating for this event held on Thursday, March 21 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“This is my favorite food event of the year, and if you love food or consider yourself a foodie, you need to gather some friends and join us in the most beautiful setting in Dallas,” Chef Van Meter said.

Three James Beard semifinalist chefs are attending the event. These individuals include Chef Misti Norris of Petra and The Beast, Chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman of José and Chef Regino Rojas of Purepecha. 

Additionally, on March 23 and 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Dallas Arboretum hosts a Garden Market featuring several local vendors, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the garden. The garden market is included with paid admission to the garden.
