THIS.
This is who we are and what we do.
We are women in food, wine & hospitality who support other women in these industries through grants, scholarships, mentoring and volunteering.
Once a month, some of our members gather at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama to help sort and pack boxes of food donations for those in need.
This is a partnership which yields success for all and we are proud of it.

A huge thank you to Martine’s Wines for partnering with us for this year’s Champagne & Fried Chicken! Martine’s Wines was founded in 1979 by Martine Saunier, a co-founder of the San Francisco chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier, who has played a pivotal role in the evolution of the wine industry in the United States as an importer. The company has always had a laser focus on quality, providing a distinguishes portfolio of wines, both old world and new, with distribution from coast to coast. Thank you, @martineswines! #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl
A big thank you to Louis Graffeo, a beloved and much-admired member of the Birmingham food community, and his team who partnered with us to produce our Champagne & Fried Chicken fundraiser. It would not have been possible without him. Thank you so much, Louis! #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl
Thank you, thank you to Ketel One for partnering with to produce one of the two craft cocktails that were created for Champagne & Fried Chicken.

Thank you, @ketelone! #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl #KetelOneVodka #KetelOne
Tremendous thanks to George Dickel Tennessee Whisky for partnering with us to produce one of the craft cocktails for Champagne & Fried Chicken.

Thank you to Evan’s Meats and Son of a Butcher for partnering with us to produce this year’s Champagne & Fried Chicken. Both of these family-owned businesses have a deep commitment to providing top-notch, unique beef, pork, fish, cheese, and specialty products delivered with integrity while also respecting the animals and environment. Evan’s Meats provides products to local restaurants while Son of a Butcher, a storefront borne out of the shock the Covid-19 pandemic brought to the restaurant industry, now provides those same amazing products for the at-home cook. Thank you, @evansmeatsandseafood and @thesonofabutcher_bham! #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl
Champagne & Fried Chicken would not be possible without the generous partnerships of a number of wonderful companies and individuals. The first of these is Stone Hollow Farmstead that provided the gorgeous flowers for our fundraiser. @stonehollowfarmstead is a family business founded by Dame Deborah Stone in 1999 with her husband, Russell, and her daughters, Alexandra and Fallon, in Harpersville, Alabama. This family business has grown from a natural love for the land and nurturing the process to producing the finest cheeses, honey, specialty foods, botanicals, cosmetic extracts, and cosmeceuticals. Thank you so much, Stone Hollow Farmstead! #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl
Thank you Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama for sponsoring this year’s Champagne & Fried Chicken! #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl
We owe tremendous thanks to the Market at Pepper Place for allowing us host Champagne & Fried Chicken in their wonderful space in October! Since 2000, the Market at Pepper Place has been bringing fresh, seasonal produce, ready-to-eat food items, and handmade goods to shoppers in Birmingham every Saturday, from 7 to 12—rain or shine. They have safely connected the community with local farmers and makers throughout the pandemic and are currently planning for a productive and healthy season in 2022. Thank you, @marketatpepperplace! #shoplocal #howwefundthefuture #ldei #ldeibirmingham #lesdamesintl
