The Kennebunkport Festival celebrates the best food, art, and design that Maine has to offer. For those who have never been, the festival is composed of many events, large and small, several of which are hosted in the beautiful homes of Kennebunk’s residents.
This brings us to Full Plates and Chef’s Night Out, who teamed up with Maine Street Desgn Co., and Devenish Wines to put together a beautifully themed African dinner that I attended. Beyond enjoying good food and company, these annual dinners raise funds for Full Plates Full Potential a charity dedicated to ending childhood hunger. Each of these events also celebrated a Maine artist, in this case Brad Maushart of F8 gallery at which the dinner was held. I was unfortunately too consumed with the eating and drinking to take many photos. However, have included some of my better ones and a copy of the menu here:
