Is it the beards? Deep South Grill Team wins once again for best theme/costume.


The Wasabi Brothers' sense of style captured second place for best theme/costume.

More than 250 people flocked to the new downtown location of WRC's Men Who Grill fundraiser on Saturday, June 4. Guests sampled grilled items from 11 teams that showed their culinary acumen and creativity! From a whole roasted pig and flank steak to grilled veggies and grilled cheese sandwiches, an impressive array of foods were prepared by 34 amateur chefs. More than $4,200 was raised for WRC programs and services. The Center thanks all who helped to make the event a success! Special kudos to the Steamworks team for figuring out how to bake a cake on the grill!
