BCA Dinner

The Black Culinary Alliance is a very special organization that works to recruit, train, and place more people of color in the food industry.



I recently attended their annual fund raising dinner which featured fantastic food cooked by students in the program.



Founder Alex Askew (far right) is an amazing guy, who almost single-handedly runs the entire organization.



During my remarks on stage I quoted the Buddha

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

Alex is the living embodiment of this.
