Five lucky winners and their guests recently enjoyed an exquisite five course meal at beautiful Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris, Georgia.

The five course dinner was prepared and presented in person by Executive Chef Sid Kurrimbukus, Christie Hill, Le Cordon Blue Extern, and Ashley Murray, Le Cordon Bleu Extern. Guests applauded at the end of each course in appreciation of the excellent service and food.
