On July 19th, vendors at the South of the James Market will be asking…”What’s on your table?” A team of chefs from Positive Vibe Cafe is challenging a team headed by Council Member Kathy Graziano. the teams can only use produce and meats sold at the market, must purchase from market vendors, and must prepare a series of courses at the amrket for judging. Proceeds will go to Positive Vie’s mission of training people for careers in food service.
