The Andrew Schlessinger Fundraising Event in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania brought people together to support Ellen Bennett’s mother, who lost her home in the LA fires. All donations went directly toward helping her rebuild. Guests enjoyed a vibrant open-fire feast that celebrated community and flavor. The menu featured lobster cooked over the flames, asado-style suckling pig slow-roasted to perfection, and whole fish grilled on wooden boards. Hanging baskets of fire-roasted vegetables and shellfish kissed by the coals completed the spread. It was an unforgettable afternoon of food, generosity, and connection — a reminder that good cooking can bring people together for something bigger.
