ACS presented a congratulatory plaque on Thursday to Sal’s Cafe in Somers Point for being the “Golden Spoon Award Winner” at the 4th Bowls of Hope Soup-Tasting Benefit held on February 4. A creamy New England Clam Chowder prepared by Sal’s Cafe was the top vote-getter among the some 400 people who attended the event. Since winning the award, Sal’s Cafe has added the chowder to its daily menu, according to co-owner Blair Pira. ACS Event Coordinator Jessica Martin presented Blair Pira (left) and his nephew and co-owner Sal Pira (right) with the plaque and thanked them for their participation in the Bowls of Hope. Sal’s Cafe has supported the benefit by donating soup for the past three years of the event. Atlantic Christian School, the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, and The Community FoodBank of New Jersey were the beneficiaries of the Bowls of Hope. Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and donated to make this event a success.
