Stirit28 Logo1.2

In just 4 days, Sunday, Feb. 21st, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Manhattan, 4 of the hottest US cities, will be hosting a simultaneous evening of  culinary musings in a heart-felt effort to raise money for Haiti!

I’ve you’ve not heard or read about STIR IT 28, either on our Facebook page or our  hard-core Twitter updates (#stirit28), then you’re missing out! In just 4 weeks, two other bloggers, Chrystal over at The Duo Dishes and Courtney at Coco Cooks, and myself have organized what we love to consider a phenomenal campaign to bring relief to the island that suffered a deadly earthquake, leaving 200 thousand souls, dead. This is our way of giving back: Through our craft of cooking and hopefully filling the gap of the basic essentials they are lacking.

Each city, having it’s own vibe and spirit will naturally celebrate in its own way!  But, we all have the same energy and passion behind it, so the only thing left to do is get you to attend, wherever you are!!  Online ticket sales are $30 in advance and close Sat. 2/20 at 6 pm EST. $40 at the door. To purchase tickets, simply click on the STIR IT 28 logo/image on my home page, top right-hand corner! It will direct you straight to PayPal to purchase one (1) ticket at a time.

ATLANTA, being filled with diverse art and food, will represent STIR IT in an indescribable way! As the host (wearing kick-ass L.A.M.B heels),  I’m proud to entice you with some of the delicious tastings the chefs and bloggers will dish out this Sunday!
