Rooftop Uncorked: The EWMC Society's Food & Wine Festival

As many of you know, Rooftop offers exclusive catering at all of our events from both Urban Crust and Urban Rio. Chef Salvatore Gisellu is the Executive Chef/Partner of Urban Crust, as well as the Managing Executive Chef of Urban Rio. What you may not know is that Chef Salvatore has been a member of the Dallas-area Epicurean World Master Chefs Society (EWMC) since 1998.

This international organization of recognized, elite chefs compete all over the world in culinary competitions, own and operate their own restaurants and businesses, and hold events that celebrate their love of great food while giving back to local charities. Of all the exciting things the organization does, the last is what brought them to Rooftop Event Spot.

We had the priviledge to partner with EWMC for their 19^th Annual International Food & Wine Festival. This was their second time hosting the event at our venue, and when we decided to partner again for the 2014 event, we could not wait for the day to roll around.

More than 20 World Master Chefs filled our venue with stations that offered tastes of both savory—like gourmet pizza from Chef Salvatore at Urban Crust, empanadas from Chef Fernando at Urban Rio, and sushi from Chef Yutaka at Yutaka Sushi Bistro—and sweet. Guests also enjoyed signature cocktails, beer and wine selections as well as fun, vibrant music from local singer-songwriter, Matt J.

Over two hundred Dallas foodies came and supported the group of chefs, and by the end of the night, the group not only shared their love and passion of delicious food, but raised money for a donation to give back to KidLinks Foundation, a charity that improves the emotional and physical needs of children by directly funding music entertainment and music therapy programs in Texas. 

Congratulations to the EWMC team on another successful event, and we look forward to partnering again for next year!
