another successful lunch!

today's renegade lunch found us in the lobby of one of cleveland's classic department stores from a bygone era, the halle building. ben called at 7 a.m. to tell me that he'd been up all night with flu so we tapped our trusted longtime friend and culinary companion, ryan bennett, to fill in for the day. we cooked up some chili pepper and scallion egg rolls with lime ginger soy dipping stuff and a tasty thai beef and fried noodle salad with warm vinaigrette. thanks to our generous guests, we raised $800 to help the puppies and kitties (and bunnies) at the cleveland APL. see you all in may!

renegade lunch 03.23.09

howdy folks! this past tuesday we were lucky enough to get to throw down another renegade lunch right by the fountains in tower city, during the international film festival. we served some of our housemade matzoh with lowcountry-style pimento cheese, potato and roasted pepper soup, and red beans and rice with brined and smoked chicken, pickled chard and bread and butter pickled cucumbers. the lunch raised $2300.00 for the rape crisis center and was, by all accounts, another success. see you in april!

next tuesday!



here's a picture of our lovely and talented spice of life event planner, jess andjeski, who also takes care of all of our logistics for renegade lunch. this was taken during the walk-through for our lunch next tuesday to benefit the rape crisis center. can you guess where jess is? we'll be there soon. on an unrelated note, the random dude in the background must have sat down 10 seconds prior to our taking this shot, so i guess i should give him photo credit too. so, ladies and gentlemen, here's a picture of jess and random, tired dude at the site of the next renegade lunch.
