Art Exhibit GUEST BIO Ralph Humes was named Chef of the year in 2007 by the local chapter of the American Culinary Federation and has won numerous other local awards, including the Iron Chef Competition last year at the Arcus Depot. His popular restaurant, R. Stanley's Diner, was known for its gourmet desserts and upscale southern fare. Humes has recently teamed up with Paw Paw's Desserts Unlimited to help the catering company prepare and develop desserts - his specialty. Desserts Unlimited will market his R. Stanley's Diner line of desserts, and Humes will create new signature desserts for the company. They hope to sell desserts to area restaurants, since most restaurants don't have pastry chefs.
