2011 Saltmarsh Mexican Fiesta Cook-off for Manna Food Bank

Last Friday, the Saltmarsh held our annual cook-off to benefit Manna Food Bank.  This year's theme was Mexican, so naturally we took time out of our busy schedules to enjoy a fiesta! 

Sheldon Bernau headed up the fundraising effort, and through generous donations by the staff, $2,135 was raised to help Manna.  Frank Riehle challenged the firm to raise $1,000 in one day by promising to go "Cue Ball Bald" for Manna.  Pictures of his haircut to come shortly!

Many delicious dishes were tasted, and after voting by the judges and staff, these dishes reigned supreme!
