[Sca-cooks] masquerading food

[Raphaella DiContini]

It's actually amazing what's been done each year to transform the garage. One year it was turned into a charming Italian bistro, another year a starlight balcony overlooking the "ocean" (a lovely mural covering one entire wall). 

Each year the food is breathtaking, last year the theme was Decadence- OMG amazing. 

In joyous service, 
Raffaella
