Win a $1,200 Dinner for Two at Citymeals-on-Wheels 2008 Fund-Raiser
Guests at the Citymeals-on-Wheels fund-raiser on Monday, June 16 will be saved the trouble of choosing a restaurant. Instead, 35 of the country's greatest chefs will gather in Rockefeller Center to cook dinner for them.
Expected to raise $1 million in support of the organization, which funds meal deliveries to homebound elderly, the event will feature a live band, dancing, and most important, unbelievable French-inspired food.
The event's theme this year is "Crème de la Crème," a celebration of French chefs and their legacies. The honorees include a bevy of legends from all over France and the United States: Jean Banchet, Georges Blanc, Paul Bocuse, André Daguin, Pierre Gagnaire, Gaston LeNôtre's son Alain LeNôtre, Jacques Maximin, Marc Meneau, Louis Outhier, Jean Jacques Rachou, André Soltner, and Pierre Troisgros's son Claude Troisgros.
The ones making dinner, however, will be their American protégés, including Daniel Boulud, Tom Colicchio, Todd English, Charlie Palmer, Alfred Portale, Nancy Silverton, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Each of the 35 chefs will cook two dishes—one original recipe and one classic recipe from the chef with whom he or she trained.
