The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank hosted the 10th annual Chefs, Cork & Craft Gala: Hang Ten! under the stars, on the grounds of the Food Bank’s 90,000-square-foot warehouse in Miramar. The outdoor gala featured live musical entertainment and a multi-course, chef-prepared dinner led by Chef Committee Chair, Chef Sara Polczynski, and various chefs who donated their time and talent to cook. This year’s theme, “Hang Ten!,” honored the gala’s 10th anniversary with all proceeds benefiting the Food Bank’s critical hunger-relief programs. Attendees included Nadine Viola, David Hunt, Jacques Lyakov, Damian Melcer, and Nancy Rohland.
