The Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge Opens With A Brunch For The Masses
by Mike Marrero
The Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge adjacent to Trinity Groves should be on all of your to-do lists. Much progress has been made with the Trinity River Corridor Project. This celebratory day included a 5K run, Wild Flower Driving Range, Bike Ride and Rolling Ribbon Cutting, among other activities. The highlight of the day for me was The Long-Table Gospel Brunch.
With the increasingly gorgeous downtown Dallas skyline and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge as the backdrop, approximately 400 diners sat together at a very long table on the new Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge. For a mid June outdoor event, the weather could not have been better, but the menu was the star of the show. Chef and Chair of the brunch Sharon Van Meter did a great job. Many students from El Centro Community College and Le Cordon Bleu helped in every arena. Chef Van Meter created the menu, and as a group they cooked at 3015 in Trinity Groves on Saturday and plated on Sunday. Continue reading
