James-Beard Award winning Chef Jody Adams is rounding up her foodie friends for a taste around reception and spring fling cocktail party to raise funds for the Pan-Mass Challenge Team Rialto-TRADE. The event will take place Thursday, May 31 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Rialto, 1 Bennett Street, Harvard Square and will include delicious bites sponsored by Lourdes of Fiore di Nonno, Pat & Barbara of Woodbury Shellfish, Pineland Farm, Verrill Farm and Seafood Specialties. The guys of Bully Boy Distillers will shake up signature cocktails and the team will pour drinks for both the vinophiles and beeraucrats in attendance. In August, Team Rialto-TRADE will take on their second Pan-Mass Challenge. The group is made up of 11 employees, friends and family, including Chef Jody Adams. They range in age from their twenties to their sixties, all with a love of food, wine and doing their part to raise money for cancer research. This year, Team Rialto-TRADE aims to raise $100,000 for the PMC.
