The weekend is wearing a lobster bib.
This week, Perks is bringing you an exclusive invite to spend Labor Day weekend in Napa with Thomas Keller, hanging out at the French Laundry, and he’ll take you on a culinary whirlwind of catered meals and demonstrations. Save your appetite.

Oh, and Greg Best from Holeman & Finch will be supplying the Shine On Punch. We sense moonshine.
Kevin Bacon has given us so much—Footloose, She’s Having a Baby... Footloose. But when actual bacon gets involved, things start to get a little more interesting.
