Some birthdays just stay with you. ā¤ļø
Watching Teresa celebrate her 31st birthday was one of those nights that reminded me how quickly life moves. I swear she was just a teenager yesterday, and now sheās built a beautiful life surrounded by people who love her.
When I asked her what song she wanted for her birthday dinner, she chose āThank Youā by Bonnie Raitt. Between that song, the chatter around the table, and seeing everyone celebrate her, I found myself crying. Happy tears, but tears all the same.
Woodford F&B made the evening feel so special. We shared everything from Osetra caviar and latkes (which Teresa promptly folded into a ācaviar tacoā š), incredible deviled eggs, fried Brussels sprouts, pickled vegetables, Brie with grilled baguette, and so much more. I loved my roast half chicken, and of course I had to steal bites from everyone elseās plates. Occupational hazard of being a food creator. š
A special thank you to Issy for taking such wonderful care of us and adding so many thoughtful touches that made the evening unforgettable. And thank you to the entire Woodford F&B team for helping create such a memorable celebration.
Also, thank you so much, Curtis. ā¤ļø
Happy Birthday, Teresa. I love the woman youāve become, even if my brain is still convinced youāre about 17.
