Competing alongside his wife, Dr. Angela Zallen, Drs. Brooke and Christopher Kyle, and Drs. Kevin Modeste and Kim Ruscher, Spicy Bowl 2025 raised nearly $23,000, providing 45,000 meals to neighbors in need (bringing the total raised to over $75k since it started). 🌶️ It’s fantastic to see LCMS members making a difference in our community. Here’s to good food and great company! 💪🍴
