Financial literacy workshop hosted by Les Dames Austin @fatrabbitsocialhouse May 12th at 6pm.
Ditch the lending nonsense and get the capital you actually deserve!
Capital is the #1 challenge for owners, and in the food industry, the rules for credit are constantly shifting. Join us for a workshop where we pull back the curtain on what banks really look for in a restaurant’s balance sheet.
Denise Kellison of First Vision Financial is spilling the secrets she’s learned from 30 years of helping Texas food entrepreneurs get funded fast. Whether you're looking to launch your first food truck, expand your bakery to a second location, or finally upgrade that kitchen equipment, this session is for you.

There’s something truly special about an intimate evening that brings together passionate people, beautiful wines, and thoughtfully crafted food and this Austin Wine Week event at Dai Due was exactly that.
Chef Janie created a series of delectable bites, each one perfectly paired to highlight the character and nuance of the wines.
A heartfelt thank you to Amanda, the visionary behind Austin Wine Week, for continuing to shine a spotlight on the incredible diversity and quality of Texas wines. Her passion and dedication are opening doors and palates across the city.
And to the incredible talented women behind Alta Marfa, Elisa Christopher, Jaclynn Renée, and Kalasi Cellars-thank you for sharing your craft and your stories. Your wines were not only fabulous, but a true reflection of the spirit and strength of Texas winemaking.

Live fire, fabulous food, and some of my favorite friends in the entire damn town. @austindames You Grill girl features some of the best culinary talent in town (and they also happen to be incredible women) and puts them all together in the most epic backyard party. This is the organization’s signature fundraiser helping them facilitate incredible grants and scholarships they’ll give to help women in F&B take their craft to the next level. Easily one of my favorite parties of the year.
