Chef Daniel Gursha took home the coveted title to become the first ever Sliced Salem victor.
The event was produced by Octocog and hosted by the Hotel Salem with lights by Retonica and DJ sets by Qwill. The drink sponsor was Deacon Giles.
“It’s important for an organization like Behind You! to exist and be a bridge between the restaurant workers who need help getting back on their feet and those who have the resources to make that possible,” says Octocog owner Dan Donato.
The BEHIND YOU! Elizabeth Bookholz Memorial Fund was created to support Front-of-House and Back-of-House employees of independently-owned or chef-owned restaurants in Salem MA, when they have a medical hardship and are unable to work for at least four (4) weeks.
