I hung in the kitchen with @chefdavidstandridge @cheftyleranderson @evanhennessey @jameswayman & River Bar’s executive chef, Kevin English @employeenumber8antoinewalker. I loved the chefly banter at they crafted their individual dishes for the diners.

Loved the vibe, the genuine care and friendship and how this community always shows up for each other.

River Bar is hosting a special benefit dinner in support of our dear friend, Jake Rojas, during his battle with throat cancer. Many of you may know Jake as the chef and owner of the unforgettable Tallulah’s, and the Dine for Oido dinner held on our patio last June. River Bar’s Executive Chef, Kevin English, and owner, James Wayman, share a long history with Jake, and we are deeply committed to supporting him 🌊💙

Most of us have been impacted by cancer, whether through witnessing a loved one’s battle or facing the fight ourselves. The heartbreak it causes is immeasurable. Our goal is not only to support Jake during his journey back to health but to create something beautiful amidst a time we know can be devastating.

Please join us for a five-course dinner featuring dishes prepared by highly-acclaimed, award winning chefs Tyler Anderson, David Standridge, and Evan Hennessy. We believe there is no better way to honor Jake than by sharing exceptional food and cocktails with good company

If you are interested in attending and supporting, please purchase tickets through the link in our bio 💙 by @jameswayman
