Gourmet Gala Returns to the Terry Campus

Colonel George H. Chabbott (seated), honorary chair of the 2022 Gourmet Gala, enjoys the evening with friends.

After a two-year pause, the Gourmet Gala returned to Delaware Tech’s Terry Campus on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, and guests welcomed its return.

Colonel George H. Chabbott, a Legacy Society member who has attended every gala since 2007, served as this year’s honorary chair. Chabbott’s dedicated gala attendance and generosity to the College continues the significant commitment to the Terry Campus that he and his wife, Marilyn, proudly supported during the 62 years they were married prior to her passing in 2015.

The premier fundraising event for students on the College’s Dover campus, Gourmet Gala proceeds support educational opportunities and activities, scholarships, and additional financial assistance.

The evening began with hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails prepared by Painted Stave Distilling and a seasonal sangria featuring Fifer’s Orchard cider. For dinner, guests experienced a night in Barcelona with gastronomic delights such as Escalivada (coal-roasted vegetable salad) sponsored by and using fresh produce from the College’s Georgetown campus agriculture program; Paella (saffron rice with a mélange of seafood, chicken, and sausage) sponsored by La Baguette Bakery of Dover; and Fricando (slow braised beef) sponsored by Crow Vineyard and Farm. The evening also featured two preferred wines from Crow Vineyard paired to the second and third courses.

Guests finished their dining experience with an assortment of Spanish treats like fresh churros with hot chocolate and crema catalana. The meal was made possible by the culinary arts brigade from both the Terry and the Stanton campuses as well as student volunteers, alumni, and distinguished faculty retirees. 

The night also featured entertainment by dance band Group Therapy and local guitarist Matt McCafferty, as well as a live auction, photo station, and wine pull.

Gala sponsors included Bayhealth Medical Center, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Colonel George H. Chabbott, and Del-One Federal Credit Union.

Next year’s Gourmet Gala will be held October 21, 2023.
