Greer's OC

It’s a free grand opening party and you’re invited! The Raw Bar features Jenny’s delicious raw cuisine inspired by her past ten years in the raw food movement. You can sample raw bar favorites like chocolate truffles, lasagna, portabello tacos and more; and drink Kombucha martinis (we might pass on this one).
