Hi All:

The May Meeting of the ECB we joined with the Mass Restaurant Association for their Scholarship Awards Gala held at the Danversport Yacht Club held on Thursday, May 27th. The Epicurean Club of Boston was proud to give out $2000.00 scholarships to five well deserving students. They were Christopher Berardi, Heather Johnson, Cheryl Neary, Mikala Porcaro and Samson Shea. Congratulations to all of you for a job well done and look forward to five future culinarians to join us as future chefs in our industry and new members to our Club.

We also held our 1st Annual N.E. Food Service Restaurant Run, a Motorcycle Fundraiser at Bruce Rossmeyer’s Boston Harley Davidson in Everett. We had a beautiful day with plenty of food and fun. I would like to give special thanks to Jeffrey D. Barr who coordinated the event, Vice President Doug Patten, Everett Lot Coordinator. Thanks to Board Member Doug Corrigan of Dean Foods, Chef Steve Sharad of Belmont C.C. for advance setup and cleanup work, and all who attended and those members and Board Members, who stepped up and helped that week with myself spending three days in the hospital that week and a lot of last minute running around. I also would like to give special thanks to those students from Le Cordon Bleu College who gave up their day to help us set up, cook, and break down. Thanks to Francisca Hernandez, Joy Lee, Geoff Morse, Francisco Cartwright, Timothy Spinney and Roger Garland. And of course the vendors who are always there when we ask for their time and products. They were Costa Fruit and Produce, Garelick Farms/Dean Foods, Agar Foods, New England Coffee, Piantedosi Baking, Unilever Foods, Accardi Foods, Espresso Plus, Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus, Hooters Restaurant in Saugus, Mexico Lindo Restaurant in Melrose, Kinnelleay Meats, Old Neighborhood Foods, and Kraft Foods. On the “Bike” side, a special thanks to Bikers Outfitter – RT 107, Revere, Lister Insurance-Medford, and Party of Gold Leitchfield, NH . I would also like to thank Bruce Rossmeyer’s Boston Harley for their hospitality and all their help in making this happen. And also thank’s Chris Spinazzola for making Stoneforge – Foxboro, Christina’s and Funway USA, available with very short notice as a starting spot for the run.

Our next monthly meeting before the summer break is at Cabot’s Ice Cream in Newton on June 21st. Please join us before we break for the summer.

If anyone sees Steve LaCount, Congratulate him on the great article in the MRA on theTable May Newsletter about Steve and his great restaurant, Chiara Bistro.

Hope to see you all in June.

Warmest Regards,
