Boston Giveaway: Chef Wheeler del Torro’s Small Bytes

Boston chef Wheeler del Torro has closed the Barrio pop-up for the season, but is re-launching another culinary adventure, Small Bytes. Del Torro’s company launched Small Bytes back in 1993 in San Francisco. Now he lives in Boston, and we all know that Cambridge is the new S.F. . .

Small Bytes is a forum for connections and discussions between start ups, tech folk, and investors over a tapas menu. The Boston launch is June 19 at the French Cultural Center, 8:30 – 10 p.m.. He has offered us a pair of tickets worth $350 each to give away.
