I'm super psyched that my recipe for grilled pizza with heirloom tomatoes was selected as a finalist for the Mid Atlantic Red Fruit Festival. I'll be working with Chef Jerry Edwards, who will prepare the recipe at the festival. The event is from 6-8 pm Friday, September 24 at the Woodrow Wilson Plaza at the Ronald Reagan Building.
