- **Event Description**: An Elegant Evening of Storytelling, Soulful Cuisine, and Purposeful CelebrationAbout this EventNine years ago, Chef Brittney stepped onto the culinary scene with nothing but a dream and faith. There was no blueprint, no mentor—only the determination to learn, grow, and honor the food that raised her. Culinary school taught her techniques from Latin, Asian, and European cuisine. But when it came to American cuisine—the food of her upbringing—something was missing. The history felt rushed, watered down, or entirely left out.So she set out on her own journey—traveling, researching, remembering. She traced the roots of Southern food and discovered something powerful:You cannot speak of American cuisine without speaking of the South. And you cannot speak of the South without honoring the Black chefs who shaped it.This year’s Entrepreneurs Ball is the culmination of that journey. Titled "A Taste of Legacy," the evening is more than a celebration—it’s a revelation. Through a soul-stirring five-course dinner, Chef Brittney will guide guests on a historical culinary experience, honoring the resilience and brilliance of culinary pioneers like Edna Lewis, Patrick Clark, Leah Chase, Hercules, and James Hemings.Each course will unfold like a chapter—? A tribute to the forgotten hands that built the foundation? A taste of tradition passed through generations? A reflection of resilience, joy, and survival? A plate that bridges past and present? And a finale that welcomes a new beginningThis is not just dinner—it’s storytelling through flavor. It’s Southern heritage plated with elegance. It’s history reimagined and finally given the reverence it deserves.From Year 1, where she introduced Addison’s Catering, to Year 8—where she now boldly steps forward as Chef Brittney—this event marks a new chapter. A chapter rooted in purpose, power, and the legacy of those who made it possible.Join us on October 18th for an unforgettable evening.Come taste the story. Come witness the legacy.Because this year, you won’t just attend the Ball—you’ll be part of history.
