And the Winner is

Just wanted to apologize for taking so long to post this. I ran into to problems--1st restaurant week-- we were pretty busy(and I'm really thankful for that) 2nd I keep all the pictures and info for the blog on my mac and it had a bug.

But everything is fixed now and the winner is!

Congrats to Sandra, I chose her dinner for two reasons--interesting combination and her use of sea salt.

I'll do this again this summer, with a bbq theme. So get ready with those pictures.
