"At a time when Audubon Canyon Ranch was envisioning uses for M.F.K. Fisher's Last House, Sheana Davis stepped up and put together an inaugural event she named First Meal, Last House treating guests to delicious food and local wine. What is now ACR's Last House Program was launched that day. M.F.K. Fisher would have absolutely loved the event Sheana created, celebrating human connection over good food and wine. I will forever be grateful to Sheana for her hard work."

Sheana's collaboration recipe for a Wine Country BLT—Brie, Lettuce, and Truffle sandwich—made for Thomas Keller’s Bastille Day celebration.

This signature creation features a specialty truffle cheese that Sheana crafted specifically for this exclusive event. It has since become a cornerstone of their artisanal cheese offerings, continuing to be featured in their culinary programs and consulting services.
