CNP Local Chef Challenge -- April 25

[Lindsey Haynes]

I serve on the Board of Directors for the non-profit organization Community Nutrition Partnership.  I know this is not what's usually sent out on the listserv, but since this is a fundraising event to help increase access to healthy food for people of all incomes in Triangle Area serving local food, beer, and wine, I thought y'all might interested in hearing about it.  See below for more information or flyer attached:

CNP Local Chef Challenge 

April 25, 2013, 6-8:30PM

Extraordinary Ventures

200 S Elliot Rd, Chapel Hill NC 27514

                                                                                                       
Community Nutrition Partnership (CNP) is hosting a culinary showdown!  All proceeds from this event directly benefit CNP's mission to grow healthier communities by increasing access to healthy, local, affordable foods.  The best and brightest local chefs will serve up delectable dishes made from local, fresh, healthy produce: James Naquin of Guglhupf Bakery, Restaurant and Café, David Wimmers of Saint Jacques French Cuisine and Vimala Rajendran of Vimala's Curry Blossom Café . Their final creations will be kept under wraps until the evening of the event for all to enjoy. Attendees get to be the judge and vote on their favorite dish! 

 

In addition to the local fare, Steel String Brewery will serve up some tasty suds. Mary Johnson Rockers will play toe-tapping music. The local food, music and beer will be sure to make for the best Thursday evening you'll have all year. We will have an envious silent auction line-up, too.

 

The evening will begin at 6:00PM with appetizers being served, while guests peruse the silent auction item tables. Chefs will be announced shortly afterwards and guests will be able to sample and vote on their favorite small plate dish. The winner will be announced at 7:45 pm. The guests will be invited to stay and enjoy local dessert and Bean Traders coffee while they place their last silent auction item bids until 8:30PM. Throughout the evening guests can participate in activities centered on healthy eating.
