David is the Managing Director for DJF Associates and recently completed a 4-year consulting assignment to manage a global oil field chemical business in the Eastern Hemisphere for Elementis Specialties. Prior to that he was responsible for a merger and acquisition project in the Netherlands, which required him and Dorothy to live there for 16 months. Dorothy is retired from BASF, where she worked in Human Resources. She currently enjoys working part-time at Sephora, located at the Miracle Mile Shops.

Both David and Dorothy enjoy the Foundation Room and the fact that it has that "Cheers" feeling when you enter. Not only is it one of their favorite places, but they have also become friends with many members of the staff. This past May, both David and Andy Harris, Foundation Room bartender, participated in the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco, as Dorothy cheered them both on to the finish line.

Come experience a very special evening featuring the culinary offerings of Celebrity Chef Antonia Lofaso.

Top Chef finalist, major brand spokesperson, and reality show chef-mentor Antonia Lofaso has always pursued her passion for food with great zeal. From her six years at Wolfgang Puck's Spago to her role as Executive Chef for Foxtail, the upscale Los Angeles supper club, Antonia has honed her creative culinary skills in four-star establishments.

Antonia has shared recipes and tips on NBC's Today show, and appeared as a guest chef on the winning team of an episode of Top Chef Masters, which aired on Bravo in the summer of 2009. She has been profiled in Parade, People, Bon Appetite and Cookie magazines, as well as the Los Angeles Times and L.A. Confidential, and numerous web magazines. A four page profile in American Way magazine dubbed her "The Unstoppable Antonia Lofaso."

In September of this year, Antonia seized the chance to return to television, this time on the other side of the judge's table, as chef-mentor for Lifetime's newest series, America's Greatest Recipe, with Tyler Florence. Thousands of home cooks showed up to grill, fry, broil and bake for a panel of chef-judges, led by Antonia. Over the course of the series, she will mentor contestants as they strive to perfect their recipes and compete against each other for the title. Antonia looks forward to once again sharing with a television audience her love of good food and her appreciation for the bonds formed around great meals.
