For the late fall and winter season, she suggests using greenery, cedar, eucalyptus and even kale in arrangements. She added that this is the time of year (maybe the only time of year) to use sparkle and glitter.  The ‘oohs’ from the crowd continued with when Feighan announced chef Omar Mitchell would conduct a crab cake demonstration. The chef has had a few restaurants locally, including Table No. 2, a small fine-dining spot on the Avenue of Fashion on Livernois near Seven Mile.  "Our team is trained to never say no," said Mitchell about the hospitality model at Table No. 2.
