Party Pics: Feeding San Diego’s Pairings with a Purpose Dinner
Guests at Feeding San Diego‘s Pairings with a Purpose were treated to an exclusive epicurean experience—a five-course dinner curated by Chef Travis Swikard paired with Caymus wine. Feeding San Diego hosted the event at Swikard’s Michelin-recognized restaurant, Callie, and San Diego Magazine publisher Troy Johnson served as emcee. The Pairings with a Purpose dinner party series has become Feeding San Diego’s signature fundraiser and supports the nonprofit’s hunger-relief programs for local kids and families.
