27th Annual Gourmet Gala Benefits the March of Dimes


This year the Gourmet Gala will be held at the Adams Mark Hotel in Downtown Buffalo. Tickets are $250 per person and all proceeds go to the March of Dimes. This year's theme, “A Star is Born”, will feature a champagne reception, cooking demonstrations and entertainment by Le Masquerade Fantasy Players. Masters of Ceremonies will be none other than WGRZ's Maryalice Demler and Kevin O’Neil, and the culinary judges will feature stars of the local food scene.
The March of Dimes is focused on research and education to prevent premature births, which effects millions of women and children every year. The need to eat healthy and get proper screening during pregnancy is extremely important, and the March of Dimes looks to local decision makers to help women in need get the necessary care required to keep themselves and their unborn child healthy.
The Gourmet Gala is just one of the ways The March of Dimes reaches out to the community for help and to raise awareness and educate. All tickets must be purchased prior to the event, and are on sale now through Wednesday, March 12. You can purchase tickets by calling the March of Dimes at 716.691.3805. More information can be found at the March of Dimes website.

Suffice to say that I’m already looking forward to my next meal there.
I liked the vibe right away when I noticed a sign on the wall that sa …
A muse is intended to inspire, and this restaurant certainly will encourage one's own imagination. Playful dishes blur the suggested lines between modern and classic, sweet and savory, and the even the line between food and art.
A beautiful complement to one of our city’s greatest treasures, Muse at the Albright-Knox, is a perfect start or end to a day of stirring your senses. Sophisticated and subtle, the ambience of Muse’s space fits the Albright well--modern yet invit …
On a recent summer afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting with one of Buffalo’s leading chefs, Jennifer Boye. My visit with Jennifer took place in the Fireside Salon of The Mansion on Delaware Avenue where she is currently the Executive Chef for special events.
During our conversation I learned that Chef Boye, who is Buffalo born and raised, began her career in 1997. After graduating from the Erie Community Collage Culinary Arts Department she started working for one of her i …
