Selection of Fall Desserts

Chef Muller’s cuisine is flawless. His perfect juxtaposition of ingredients and flavors creates the most balanced and subtle dishes. He once invited me during peak (power) lunch hour to see how the chef at a top New York restaurant runs his kitchen. It was an experience I’ll never forget. The level of skill, concentration and coordination was a pleasure to witness.

The food and wine selections at the benefit will no doubt be a treat, but it will be even more enjoyable to know that you’ll be supporting a good cause.
