I would love to check out Art of Food because every year I say I am going to go and every year something comes up preventing me from doing it! This year if I had tickets I would make sure to go! Also, I worked in food service and fine dining for years…I love seeing unique presentations of food!

I moved back to Northern KY on Feb 10th after six years living on the coast of NE Florida. I just finished culinary school and I believe this social event would be a networking treat of the great culinary delights Northern KY offers. Welcome home Mona!
