UPDATE March 14: The planned fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation Women’s Initiatives on March 23 at Triple Bottom Brewing is postponed until late spring 2020. The decision was made due to concerns surrounding the spread of COVID-19.


Original story: High Street Hospitality Group's Ellen Yin and Lost Bread Co.'s Ana Caballero are hosting a tasting event on Monday, March 23, spotlighting female chefs in honor of Women's History Month, with proceeds going to the James Beard Foundation Women's Initiatives.

The event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. at Triple Bottom Brewing Co., a woman-owned microbrewery on Spring Garden Street.
