A Stush in the Bush Birthday Bash
“It was,” shared Emmy Award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph,”an opportunity to express gratitude ahead of another birthday for my many blessings and to break bread with close friends who have become family.” With her favourite venue Stush in the Bush secured, 25-plus women convened atop Free Hill to await Ralph’s arrival on the back of a truck. She was greeted with tight hugs, kisses and much laughter.
What followed was a culinary affair so spectacular that we’ll allow the fare to speak for itself. Kudos once more to Lisa and Chris Binns, co-principals, Stush in the Bush, who from our eager arrival at 1:00 pm to our reluctant departure at 8:00 pm gave all yet another reason to keep coming back.
Thursday Food spotlights the fare.
