Attendees will also receive culinary delights from some of Monmouth County’s finest chefs, according to a statement prepared by Little Silver Kitchen Tour.
“The Little Silver PTO sponsored their first kitchen tour in 2008, the second one was held in 2011. After a five year hiatus, the Little Silver PTO decided to bring the tour back to showcase kitchens as well as highlight the talents of area builders, decorators, chefs
and florists,” Kelly Boyer, co-chair of the Little Silver Kitchen Tour said.
