White Sulphur Springs’s Schoolhouse Hotel and Lewisburg’s Briergarten teamed up on Mar. 1 for a Fat Tuesday fundraising effort to support the White Sulphur Springs Community Center and food pantry.
The Briergarten, a German-inspired beergarden, hosted The Schoolhouse Hotel’s executive chef Adeyemi Allen and his son, sous chef Corte Allen, as they fried up oyster and shrimp po’ boys and gumbo.
“It was a great event for an even greater cause,” says Josh Baldwin, co-owner of the Briergarten. “The food that Chef Allen and Corte put out was delicious and got rave reviews, including some high praise from a local couple who moved here from New Orleans literally a month ago.”
“It was a great evening to be out in the community and represent The Schoolhouse Hotel,” says Greg McMillion, food and beverage manager. “It was great to meet community members that have a connection with the school and talk about the plans for the new hotel. Everyone has a story and memories of their time at the school. The Schoolhouse Hotel is a proud sponsor of the White Sulphur Springs Community Center and the food bank.”
The Briergarten is getting ready to celebrate their one-year anniversary April 1-2. The Schoolhouse Hotel will open this spring.
