The 10th Annual Sugar and Champagne Affair is hosted by Chef Todd and Ellen Gray of Equinox Restaurant. For a decade, said Ms. Gray, “It has been our pleasure to work year-round to ensure that Sugar and Champagne remains the year’s best known and must-attend, pet-friendly foodie event.”  She noted that Sugar and Champagne started in 2001 as a small fundraiser attended by about 50 people and that it now is a nationally known, signature event attracting participation by hundreds of guests, their dogs and leading chefs, pastry chefs and restaurants.
