50 Men Who Cook! March 23rd from 6-9pm.

Let 50 Men Cook for you on March 23rd. Dine on creative culinary creations of 50 Men. Lincoln Inn from 6-9pm. Live music and more. Join us. Tickets: www.50menwhocook.com

 

I climb on top of a chair with my camera in hand. Looking through the peep hole of the camera, trying to fit all 50 cooks in the frame. "Say 50 Men!" Snap goes the camera flash.

My excitement parallels an extra cup of coffee. The bubble of energy makes me feel alive. It's such a fun event.

I climb down from the chair and enter the banquet room. So many tables lined with delicious foods to try. I photograph the food. I greet the cooks. And I sample the delicious culinary creations as I go.

50 tables of edible delights. 50 cooks in apron. 50 people dedicated to helping prevent suicide.
