To Do: Chef's Best Dinner and Auction

By Ann Limpert   Published Friday, May 29, 2009

Where will The Next Food Network Star’s Teddy Folkman, Inn at Little Washington’s Patrick O’Connell, and star bartender Gina Chersevani be on Monday night? They’re just a few of the big names who will be dishing out goodies at Chef’s Best, the annual dinner and auction benefitting Food and Friends, a charity that delivers meals to people with life-threatening illnesses. A total of 60 area chefs, pastry chefs, and bartenders will be on hand for the walk-around tasting dinner, held at the Hilton Washington Hotel (1919 Connecticut Ave., NW). There will be live and silent auctions with culinary scores like an in-home dinner for six prepared by Folkman, a master class and chef’s table meal with O’Connell, a farmer’s market tour and lunch with Spezie’s Cesare Lanfranconi, and a wine trip to San Francisco and Sonoma.

Tickets, $225 each, are available here. A VIP tasting begins at 5:30, and the main dinner begins at 6:30.
