Thanks to Scott MacInnis for once again making food magic happen for our more than 70 Selma guests this week. Scott’s sous chef this week was Eric Farrrell, who clearly knows his way around a fry pan. Eric was also kind enough to share his homemade strawberry jam with us, which captured the very essence of summer strawberries in each bite.

Thursday night prep work was made easy by the busy hands and happy energy of newbies Susan Baity Stearns and Kay Clevenger, with a return appearance by Bridgette Carr. Garin Fons, our regular all around go-to guy rounded out the mix, with one and all doing whatever chef Scott asked us to do.

Friday morning came around quickly, and we were well prepared and ready to serve with the cool and calm Ali Asad Lotia as our server captain, leading the team of first time Selma servers Ian Bost, Kate Daum, Patti Smith, and Erick Strong. Quick studies one and all. Matt Burton stepped in, as usual, doing whatever needed doing to make the morning run smoothly.

If you are thinking about volunteering to prep on Thursday night, or serve Friday morning, come and join us! Great company, fun work, wonderful guests and, of course, amazing food. Looking forward to seeing you. ~Lisa G
