one of my jobs is the social media for liberty market in downtown gilbert, arizona.
great restaurant; love the owners.
each month they host a community dinner. basically, you buy a seat and eat what is served to you.
it’s fun because you get to know other people at your table and the chef gets to experiment on you.
sometimes i buy a seat, but most of the time i take photos.
here’s my latest set.
