What an incredible time at the Live Fire Event in downtown Grand Rapids, where talented Chefs from all over showcased the art of cooking over an open flame. Every station brought creativity, technique, and flavor. 🔥

This event was hosted by the ACF Greater Grand Rapids Chefs Association in partnership with the ACF National Convention — bringing together Chefs, foodies, and many industry professionals!

A huge shoutout to our Corporate Chef, Chef Eric, for being a big part of this. We are so lucky to have you!
