The third annual Cooks and Collars featured a divine evening of culinary excellence, friendly competition, and a lot of fun! Held at the FedEx Event Center at Shelby Farms September 19, the weather was perfect to enjoy cocktails and bites under a tent overlooking Shelby Farms. Local chefs teamed up with Catholic priests for this wonderful evening that benefited Catholic Charities of West Tennessee, which last year alone provided essential food, clothing, and shelter to over 57,000 people across twelve counties. Participating chefs and priests were: Chefs Felicia Suzanne, Karen Carrier, Ryan Trimm, Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman; Fr. Mike Werkhoven, Fr. Gabe Bouck, Fr. Jolly Sebastian, and Fr.
