Gerry Furth-Sides) It is so exciting and special to personally meet the Executive Chef-owner of a thriving restaurant at an event. So last week-end, St. Vincent Meals on Wheels (SVMOW) at Paramount was the place to be. This largest, privately funded senior nutrition program in the country produced their second annual “Hollywood Under the Stars” fundraiser, on the Paramount Studios lot with so many of LA’s top chef-owners on hand .
