WE SAW YOU: A Taste of CBHS

Restaurants and businesses with CBHS ties participated in this annual event.

If you tasted everything at A Taste of CBHS, you ate a complete dinner several times.

An incredible array of Memphis restaurants and businesses participated in the annual event, including some with Christian Brothers High School ties. 

The event, which was held March 2nd at CBHS’ field house, listed 35 participants on its program.

Among those attending with school connections were Mike Garibaldi of Garibaldi’s Pizza, Alex Boggs of Huey’s, and Clark Shifani of Old Dominick Distillery. Other purple and gold businesses linked to former CBHS students include Dyer’s Burgers, which is owned by Kendall Robertson, and Hog & Hominy, which is owned by Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman.

Villa Castrioti was the title sponsor of the event. One of the owners, Joe Clarke, and an investor, Brian Leith, are Brothers Boys.

The event was a sellout, Clarke says. 

In addition to the cuisine, A Taste of CBHS featured tasteful music by performers, including the Walnut Grove Jazz Band.
