When Sukey and John Jamison host a party at their famed Latrobe sheep farm, it’s sure to be sumptuous supping and sipping. And the Bastille Day event, benefiting the Jean-Louis Palladin Foundation, certainly raised the roof on raves.

Visiting celebrity chefs corralled the kitchen: Bill Telepan, of Telepan’s, NYC; Jimmy Sneed, of Richmond Virginia; and Chris Jackson, of Pittsburgh’s Six Penn Kitchen, were ably assisted by chef Evan Danko, cousin of San Fran’s finest Gary Danko; and Chef Erica Wides, a recent JLP Foundation intern at the farm.

Guests grazed on tubs of fois gras, buckets of soft-shell crab, exotic cheeses, serious fine wines — and, of course, platter after platter of the Jamisons' divine, all-natural lamb.

The foundation, headquartered in Bethesda, Md., honors the late France-born chef, Jean-Louis Palladin, promoting his mission of pursuing fine products and mentoring talent in his adopted USA.

Members of the Board, a who’s who of culinary stardom, came from across the country — including Foundation Director Ann Brody Cove, of Bethesda, and incoming president Clint Arthur, of Five Star Butter, Los Angeles.

Others feeding on the sensational spread: Carrie Jackson; Leah Telepan; Red Room chef Chris Bonfili and wife Jen; Eat ’n Park’s Mark Broadhurst; Mountain View Inn’s Vance Booher; Latrobe Country Club’s Jerry Palmer; and from Ligonier: Dr. Dan Vittone, Jim and Carrie Cooper and Joann & Bob Lightcap.
