Last night, we had the pleasure of once again opening the doors of BLANCHE for 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗: 𝙉𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙏𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙀𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, a beautiful evening of community, connection, and giving back.
Hosted by Robbie Jester and his talented team at In Jest Events, this intimate, candlelit dining experience for 40 guests was part of a wonderful initiative organized by Robyn Sheehan of Hockessin Gossip Girls (the original group), benefiting the Neighborhood Table and helping provide holiday meals for Delaware neighbors experiencing homelessness and food insecurity.
And what an evening it was! Together, this generous community raised enough to help provide meals for approximately 300 people. 🤍
We were delighted to contribute our space, table linens, and a warm, welcoming setting for Robyn’s guests to gather around the table.
The evening’s autumn-inspired menu was something special, beginning with individually plated apple and beet salads, followed by family-style servings of roasted squash cavatelli and red wine-braised beef short ribs with smoked-cheddar grits, root vegetables, broccolini, and roasted mushroom jus. And to finish? Individually plated apple c***r doughnut bread pudding with vanilla-bean ice cream and bourbon caramel. Yes, please!
A special thank-you to Robyn for bringing this meaningful cause to our community, and to Robbie and the entire In Jest team for another incredible dining experience.
We were also especially happy to connect with Athena and Ted Wolfer of Red Maple Insurance Group — our very own insurance agents! — who generously returned as Head of Table sponsors.
And a little behind-the-scenes peek? Our BRIQUE lifestyle photo studio traded its usual photo sessions for a built out bustling catering kitchen, where Robbie’s team worked their magic. We love seeing our spaces take on a whole new purpose for events.
