By Lynn Jones | Local celebrity Chef Phantom returned to the culinary scene with another installment of his highly anticipated quarterly cuisine series. The spring break edition of Taste and Cocktails took place on the Southside and hosted by promoter Samuel Jackson; delivering a flavorful fusion of elevated dishes and nostalgic entertainment. Guests enjoyed an expertly curated assortment of Chef Phantom’s specialty creations while DJ Bean and DJ Benny Blade set the mood with classic hits from the 1970s.

The retro soundtrack drew out local baby boomers ready to celebrate birthdays, promotions, anniversaries, and life’s milestones. Adding to the excitement, attendees entered a raffle for a chance to win an exclusive, privately curated dinner for two—one of Chef Phantom’s signature experiences.
