The first of two photo essays for the San Francisco Meals on Wheels Star Chefs and Vintners Gala fundraiser of 2019 featuring the appetizers and vintners.
My partner AJ and I are big supporters of Meals on Wheels. They’re a vital part of the community, providing meals to homebound seniors throughout the country. This year, I wasn’t able to attend the annual San Francisco Star Chefs and Vintners Gala but I was able to send AJ!
The Gala raised $3.3 million, which is enough income to provide 640,000 meals. It’s about 22% of their annual $15 million budget. Though I missed the event and the food, AJ was able to capture the event in all its glory. There’s no way I’m missing next year!
(I’ll be sharing more photos from the event later this week. In the meanwhile, you can check out photos from the 2018 Gala part 1 and part 2.)
Special thanks to Meals on Wheels San Francisco for providing tickets to the Star Chefs and Vintners’ Gala. I was not monetarily compensated for this post and all opinions are my own.

That gala sounds amazing, and those cookbook reviews are making my mouth water! Irvin Lin’s creations sound truly epic. After tackling such elaborate dishes, or even just dreaming about them, sometimes I need a fun, light escape, like diving into a quick game of Merge Rot online!
