More photos from last weeks 4th Annual Flavors of Philly

The American Liver Foundation’s 4th annual Flavors of Philadelphia ( www.liverfoundation.org/chapters/delvalley/about/) was a hot ticket last night, as the city hails the culinary soirée of the year. Two dozen “prep kitchens” rolled into the elegant Crystal Tea Room to provide each of the local celebrity chefs a private space to prepare their outstanding, gourmet four-course meal for their very own of table of twelve lucky guests. Flavors of Philadelphia patrons were treated like royalty as they began their culinary adventure with exquisite hors d’ oeuvres before sitting down for a personally prepared, specially designed menu, complete with wine pairings. (Nutter was there, not rapping though)
