2023 Gygi Grilling Gala

Sunshine and summertime. We absolutely love this part of the year, when it is time to take the cooking outside. We had an absolute blast at the 2023 Gygi Grilling Gala. We are back! Finally! It felt so good to see so many familiar faces and make some new friends. We haven’t had an outdoor event this large in such a long while.
