Way to go, Amani’s BYOB! We couldn’t be more excited that this downtown BYO has reached five years of success in the restaurant industry. And, we’re not just talking about success in the restaurant. Owner/chef Jonathan Amann has been recognized throughout the region for his culinary creativity, as illustrated in many different types of competitions, including this past weekend’s (c)Hopped Competition presented by PA Eats & Whole Foods Market on June 7.
What makes this five-year anniversary even better? Chef Jon and his co-owner/wife, Jeanine, are hosting a special anniversary dinner, and we suggest you don’t miss it!
