With Appreciation…Dan’s Taste of Two Forks Sponsors, Chefs & Vineyards

The team at Dan’s Papers would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the sponsors, chefs, purveyors and wineries who made our 2015 Dan’s Taste of Two Forks a resounding success. The stellar summer evening, co-hosted by celebrity chef Michael Symon, star of ABC’s The Chew, and Katie Lee, co-host of Food Network’s The Kitchen, had many memorable moments but without those folks listed here none of it would have been possible. We thank you all and hope to see you next year for another delicious evening.
