The Promise of Peace community garden hosted its 6th annual Okrapalooza event on Sunday. The Okrapalooza is an annual East Dallas-based cookoff that features live music, beer and lots of specialty okra dishes created by Dallas chefs. Celebrity chefs and home-cooks came together at The Lot this weekend to present their best okra dishes to compete for the title of Okrapalooza champion. All proceeds benefited the Promise of Peace Community Garden.
