From the Publisher
I'm Tony Durso, a chef here on the Treasure Coast. After years of cooking private events, the question I heard most wasn't about the food — it was "know a good florist? a bartender?" This guide is my answer: the local vendors worth knowing, all in one place. And if you need someone to cook the party itself — that's what I do.
