Featured Chef: Marcus Lockett


Toast to Heal Hearts is delighted to have Marcus Lockett, Executive Chef at Southaven’s Mesquite Chop House, as the caterer for this year’s craft beer and wine tasting. Marcus is no stranger to tasting events and is well versed in pairing delightful and tantalizing dishes to compliment both wines and craft brews.

For our craft brews, Marcus has suggested tasty treats such as caprese pops consisting of mozzarella stuffed fresh cherry tomatoes with fresh basil and a sweet balsamic reduction as well as delicious sour cream and black bean salsa served on top of sweet potato cakes.

For the white wine selection, Marcus will prepare fruit and cheese including perfectly aged cheeses from different parts of the country served with assorted crackers, fresh grapes, strawberries and apples. To compliment the red wine, Marcus will offer something along the lines of sesame chicken wonton cups filled with sautéed chicken, peppers, onions and spices stuffed inside a crispy wonton.

If the wine offering calls for something sweet, Marcus is ready with cheesecake stuffed strawberries or mini carrot cake bites. So don’t miss out on the delicious pairings that will absolutely compliment the fabulous beverages to be sampled at this year’s Toast to Heal Hearts.

We will certainly enjoy an incredible evening of tantalizing delights while raising funds for Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center!
