Kitchen 305 staff looking good.

The Leblon girls making cocktails.

Free manicures and massages? sounds good after a long day of wine tasting.

Steve Martorano serves up chicken parm for the crowd. Martorano is flying up to Savannah to guest on Paula Deen's show. We can't wait for that!

Tropical Acres providing some much-needed protein. The chef at Tatu and friends serve tuna tartare.
