On Thursday, September 15, SafePath Children’s Advocacy will present their annual fundraiser, Culinary Tour & Competition: Good Eatin’ Great Cause. From 6-10pm at the Cobb Galleria Center, event attendees will enjoy culinary treats featuring signature appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks from the event’s restaurant participants, such as: Canoe, Chicken and the Egg, Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar, Fusco’s Via Roma, Henry’s Louisiana Grill, STK Atlanta, —and more! The public is invited to join MC Craig Lucie, of WSB-TV, and cooking competition host, Firehouse Chef Ryan McKay, two- time winner of the Good Eatin’ Great Cause cooking competition. In addition, local celebrity chefs will serve as mentors in a team cook-off competition between the Cobb County & Marietta Law Enforcement, Cobb County Sherriff’s Office, and the Marietta Fire Department. Be a part of an entertaining and energetic event with incredible food, great company, and an amazing “cooking-related” auction. The funds raised at Good Eatin’ Great Cause will help SafePath provide information, resources, and programs to help abused children throughout Cobb County. Tickets are $75.
