We are delighted that Alison, the 2015 Phoenix’s Top Home Chef, has agreed to return to our patio and share her food adventures with us.  As some of you may remember, Alison may have begun her life as a picky eater, but she has excelled at the art and science of food and delights in creating the unexpected.   Join us as we appreciate her imagination, culinary skills, and attention to detail that impressed us all as we learned from her passion with flavorful food, her knowledge of food science, and her creative presentation.
