What: Fifth annual Foodiepalooza benefiting East Dallas Boys & Girls Club

Where: Times Ten Cellars

The 411: The East Dallas Boys & Girls Club Advisory Council recruited top Dallas chefs such as John Tesar of Spoon and Knife, pastry chef Katie Kennedy, and Grant Morgan of the Ranch at Las Colinas for this food-filled fête, which helps fund programs, events, collegiate scholarships and club renovations. Scott Murray served as emcee of the event, which included silent and live auctions with items ranging from dining events Tesar’s places to a VIP Las Vegas getaway. Guests noshed on Crisp Salad Company creations, cheese plates from Sprouts and heavy hors d’oeuvre from Marcona Kitchen, which fueled their dance moves once Texan Chris Austin Martinez starting playing.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas’ mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
