    Chef Phillip Ashley Rix

     

    President and CEO, Phillip Ashley Rix, has a heart for chocolate and a bigger heart for the community.  Phillip Ashley hosts and contributes to a great deal of events and organizations throughout the year.  We are always looking for more ways to fuel America.

    Phillip Ashley Rix hosted the Taste of the Delta at the James Beard House in New York City. The culinary identity of the Mississippi Delta is defined by the resource-rich, eponymous river that winds through its diverse communities. In celebration of the Delta’s cherished food traditions, a team of talented chefs and beverage masters took the Beard House diners downriver through a soulful, Southern-inspired supper. The dessert of the night was Mr. Rix’s world’s famous chocolate bread pudding.

Each piece in the “Imagination in a Box” collection is inspired by how we believe outer space tastes like to a child; simple (to a child everything seems easy) yet striking. Phillip Ashley Chocolates will donate $5 of the purchase price to St. Jude between November 1, 2016 and October 31, 2017, with a minimum donation of $25,000. Support the cause!

    5. The National Civil Rights Museum Freedom Awards Gala

    “Since 1991, the Freedom award has honored distinguished individuals who have made great global and national impact. These men and women are lauded for their work in the struggle for civil and human rights.” (Civil Rights Museum)
