You are invited to reserve your place in our upcoming 1491 Fusion Dinner Event on Sunday October 7, 2007 in Baltimore's Little Italy. This event will celebrate the land that Columbus discovered by combining native ingredients found in the Western Hemisphere in 1491 - the year prior to Columbus' arrival- with the sophisticated culinary tradition of Italy. We are pleased to announce a very special speaker for the event: Dr. Linda Perry, an Archaeobiologist at the Smithsonian Institute as well. We look forward to celebrating our common heritage with you in October.
