Tonight is the 8th Annual Autism Speaks to Wall Street: Celebrity Chef Gala. The gala will bring in 100 talented world-class chefs, including Ted Allen of Food Network’s Chopped as host for the night.
Other chefs in attendance will include Iron Chef Mahasaru Morimoto, Jimmy Bannos Sr. and Jr., Jamie Bissonnette, Michael Chernow, Daniel Holzman, Malcolm Livingston II, Keffernan, Eli Kulp, Alina Martell, Spike Medelsohn and Bill Telepan.
The chefs will have more than 30 ovens, 10,000 pounds of meat, fish and vegetables and will put their creative minds to work to cook up some scrumptious dishes for the guests. Each chef has earned James Beard awards, Best New Chef titles, and rave reviews from critics all over the country including New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles.
Throughout the evening we will observe the chefs preparing meals tableside, creating a personalized dining experience for the attendees, along with a special performance by Tony Award winner, Nikki M. James of Les Misérables. We will also hear from co-founders of Autism Speaks Bob and Susanne Wright, and president Liz Feld.
Autism affects one in 68 children in the United States and proceeds from the gala will be used for awareness and research in regards to causes, prevention, and treatment.
Join us for a delicious evening while supporting autism!
