Food Network Evening - $600 Pepper Mill

Last night was the annual CEF (Children's Emergency Foundation) fundraiser. This year was a lot bigger than last with probably closer to 20 different food stations all manned by different Food Network celebrity chefs. Massimo Capra's station with a mortedello pocket of cheese on polenta was delicious and Bob's Blumer's dessert pizza was also scrumptious.

There was a silent auction as well as a live auction towards the end of the evening. I tried to convince Chris that a bowling pin pepper grinder used by Bob Blumer on the Surreal Gourmet was worth bidding on. After the bidding went over $100, I had a tough time lobbying Chris for his Visa!!! It ended up going for $600...
