On October 9th, we hosted our very first SOUPer Bowl — and it was a SOUPer success! Guests gathered at the the Grove for a cozy afternoon celebrating local chefs, local artisans, local food, and community collaboration.
The friendly competition featured creative soups from talented the talented Chefs at Growing Chefs!, in beautiful bowls created by the potters at Clayworx: Ceramic Arts Learning Centre, using delicious, fresh ingredients harvested by the fine folks at Urban Roots London. Attendees sampled, voted, and helped crown our very first WINNER of the SOUPer Bowl “Best In Soup” Award…
