We're excited to share the essence and highlights of our recent participation in the "You Grill Girl!" event, a unique culinary celebration hosted by the Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin Chapter. We were thrilled to join this incredible gathering that celebrated, supported, and funded women's talent in grilling, and cooking. This event was a vibrant showcase of passion, skill, and community support. Held in the parking lot of Franklin BBQ in Austin, Texas, it drew food enthusiasts who came to experience the festive and engaging atmosphere.
A Day of Culinary Collaboration
The Franklin BBQ parking lot space transformed into a lively party. The aroma of grilled delights filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Cata and Jackie, our hosts, took center stage at the Keveri booth, cooking side by side. They prepared Ribeye skewers with Pecan Chimichurri, both unique and delicious, weaving a story of tradition and creativity.
Showcasing Talent and Passion
The event was a testament to the expertise and dedication of women chefs who excel in their craft. Author, and creator Jess Pryles, along with the wonderful baker Abby Love, were among the attendees, treating people to live demonstrations and sharing their techniques. The interaction was not only educational but also deeply inspirational, showcasing the heights women can achieve with the right platform and support. From steaks and veggies to pizzas, it was a true food feast.
But it was more than just great food; the event also featured custom cocktails crafted by Jessica Sanders, selections from local breweries and vineyards, and several non-alcoholic options. The ambiance was further enhanced by lively beats, creating a festive and engaging atmosphere.
Auctioning for Empowerment
One of the evening’s highlights was our silent auction, where an H1 Inox was auctioned off to a lucky winner, who contributed to a meaningful cause. All proceeds from the auction and the event go towards supporting the Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin Chapter's programs, which provide essential grants and scholarships for women in the food, beverage, and hospitality industries.
You Grill, Girl! is more than just an event; it's a movement to empower and celebrate the incredible women who enrich the culinary landscape. Everyone's participation helps us support these talented individuals and provides them with opportunities to succeed in their culinary careers.
Impact Beyond the Grill
The funds raised from the auction are directed towards scholarships for women pursuing careers in the culinary arts. This initiative not only aids in breaking down gender barriers in the grilling world but also ensures that the legacy of talent and passion is passed on to future generations. Our commitment to supporting these events is stronger than ever, and we are excited to see how these scholarships will change lives.
