Which last year my dream came true. The food was incredible. Dave even plugged us over on his Instagram @DeliciousAlaska, I absolutely love his video where he captured the live music playing “I can’t help falling in love with you.”   But he’s the adventurous sort so when he said he wanted to cook again for us I was surprised, but delighted.  As of yesterday we have him for both our 2022 Dinner Tours in August and…
