EDWARDSVILLE – On Friday, September 8, Edison’s Entertainment Complex will host “Al Fresco Jr.” - a modified version of their popular “Al Fresco Friday” patio dining experience. The event will be hosted by Ella Sedabres, an 11-year-old from Edwardsville who recently appeared on the Food NetChef Ella Sedabreswork’s “Kids’ BBQ Championships.”

On a typical Friday, Edison’s patio is reserved for guests 21+, but this event will have a more family-friendly flair welcoming guests of all ages. Sedabres will not only be designing the weekly chef’s specialty menu, but she’ll also be on hand during the event to discuss her flavorful creations with guests.
