Back in the spring, my friend Chelsea organized an amazing date auction fundraiser for her trip to Haiti (she went on the surgery trip). She raced all over Atlanta and got some unbelievable donations, including a cooking lesson and dinner for 8 from the owner and executive chef of The Iberian Pig, one of the best restaurants in the city. Then she and I and a handful of friends bid on it - and won!
Last weekend, we finally got around to a date that worked for everyone. It was an incredible feast of SO much food and wine, and it was a ridiculously good time, too.

I can't say enough good things about Chad and his cooking (not to mention his tolerance of our rowdy group, especially after several hours... and about a dozen bottles of wine.) His generosity raised a lot of money for a good cause and made a lot of people very, very full and very, very happy. If you are in Atlanta, check out The Iberian Pig on Decatur Square! I promise you will not be disappointed.
