Forget May, One Chef Celebrates His Mother Early

Will Gilson, chef at Cambridge’s Garden at the Cellar is good to his mama.

The man (along with business partner Aaron Cohen) behind all those great pop-up restaurants is putting together a “Mother’s Day In March” pop-up with an all-star roster. All of this cooking and drinking and wining and dining is an effort to help his mom, Jodie, whose greenhouses at J. Gilson Farms were totally destroyed when they collapsed under the mountains of snow that fell earlier this year.

Hear about it from Gilson himself. Catch the event at the Boston Center for Adult Education this Saturday, March 5th at 7pm.
