Good morning Julie! I’ve heard nothing but compliments this morning about yesterday evening’s function. Good food, everything went well and compliments to Ronald and Taz.
-Julie A.
John, Julie, Max & Team: We just wanted to say again, thank you all so much for all you did to make the Treme fundraiser such an incredible success. People are still going on about the food, especially the shrimp and grits! I don’t think I could have asked for more and I can’t wait to work with you again. You’re the best!
