We attended the WHRO Strolling Supper last night and got to meet Vivian Howard from A Chef's Life. She was very nice approachable. Mage performed a cooking demonstration putting together her version of a samosa. They were delicious! After the demonstration everyone went downstairs for the main event.
I'll write more about that later and I'll have a lot of photos.

If you don't know what the Strolling Supper is here's the deal:
Mannino's award winning She-Crab Soup
Around 20 of the area's best restaurants come together to benefit WHRO, Hampton Roads' public media station. The restaurants are picked by Chef/Author Patrick Evans-Hylton and his selected Platinum Plate judges (Coastal Virginia Magazine sponsored.) They're there to impress too--the tables will be serving the best that the restaurants have to offer.
Duck Tacos from Still
The sold out VIP event ($100 a ticket!) will feature Vivian Howard from PBS's A Chef's Life--she'll perform a demonstration and VIP ticket holders get a meet-and-greet in the lounge before the general ticket holders arrive. General admission tickets are $50 advanced and $65 at the door. We attended last year and we realized immediately that it was definitely worth the money. It is a excellent opportunity to try the best Hampton Roads has to offer all under one roof.
Buy tickets here.
Here are photos from the event I post to I Heart Food's Facebook page.
