Queens Who Cook

Sample some of the finest food prepared by some of the royal laides of Brooklyn!

The 3rd Annual Queens Who Cook event will be held this Saturday, May 18, 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., at the Candy Factory, located at 124 Washington Avenue, between Myrtle and Park avenues).

The event will feature the culinary craftwork of some of the neighborhood’s most dynamic women. 

For $20, participants will have the opportunity to sample specialty dishes from 25 Bed-Stuy “queens,” businesswomen, community leaders... women who love to cook!

Wayne Devonish, the event’s organizer and co-founder of the mentoring group 500 Men, said he got the idea for “Queens Who Cook,” from a similar event, “Real Men Who Cook,” started by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

“The Deltas’ events were always well attended, people were always excited, it was big fun,” said Devonish. “So I thought this would be a good, fun way to raise money. Plus, with women cooking, I’m sure there will be better meals.”

The proceeds will benefit the 500 Men mentoring program. For more information and for tickets, contact Wayne Devonish at 917-297-2365, or email wmdkaos@aol.com.
