Manish assembled a delicious roundtable of guests who spoke with great wisdom, passion and love about the local food community. Special guests included Renee Kreager of Renee’s Organic Oven – who Manish calls “the Diva of Pizza” – Kris Vrolijk of Proper, and Mukhi Singh of the Twisted Tandoor. A calendar of upcoming foodie events was also revealed, as was a sampling of dishes to enjoy, including Kris’ cauliflower prop-prop wings and Mukhi’s tikka masala. We hope they saved some for Matt!
