What a week! The 3rd annual Saint Simons Food & Spirits Festival to benefit Hospice of the Golden Isles was a non-stop ride of epicurean delight. From Wednesday night‚ a BBQ & Beer Dinner at Southern Soul to the SPIRITual Sunday Brunch at ECHO, attendees enjoyed not only amazing food but warm fellowship with friends and culinary wizards of both the celebrity and local variety. Even Friday night’s downpour didn’t put a damper on the festivities, and Saturday’s gorgeous weather more than made up for a little rain. A big thank you to all who participated in this fantastic community event.
