25 years. 40 chefs. 24,000 tastings.
The numbers say it all: there will be delicious food and drink aplenty at the 25th anniversary of the James Beard Foundation’s Chefs & Champagne, our annual summer tasting party and fundraiser in the Hamptons, taking place Saturday, July 25. As always, we’ll be pitching a giant tent that will house 40 acclaimed chefs on the beautiful grounds of Wölffer Estate Vineyard, who has graciously hosted this gathering for years. We admit we’re a bit biased, but we think this year’s chef lineup is hard to beat. You can see them all here.
No Chefs & Champagne is complete without a guest of honor. This year we’ll be toasting Carla Hall, co-host of ABC’s The Chew and unanimously adored Top Chef contestant. Ever the entertainer, she’ll be bringing a selection of treats from her Petite Cookies collection for our guests to nibble on between bites prepared by our guest chefs.
