On Sunday, October 22, from 6 to 9 p.m., some of Phoenix’s most influential chefs, including the likes of James Beard Award nominated chef, Charleen Badman of FnB, Sacha Levine of Ocotillo, Tracy Dempsey (Tracy Dempsey Originals), Tamara Stanger (Helio Basin Brewing), Danielle Leoni (The Breadfruit and Rum Bar), Butch Raphael (Phoenix Children’s Hospital), Aaron Chamberlin (St. Francis), and Sarah Chisholm (Phoenix Public Market Cafe), along with many other superstars of the local culinary scene, will come together to present a rather unusual dinner to benefit Feeding The Future, an initiative of Slow Food in Schools, a project of Slow Food Phoenix. Slow Food Phoenix
Feeding the Future aims to bring the Phoenix community together to improve access to healthy food for children in Arizona. At this event, chefs will highlight the need for change and the possibilities for doing so.
The event will take place in The Pecan Grove at The Farm at South Mountain, where attendees will have the opportunity to sample the chefs’ visions of the future of school lunch. Each chef will present their creative alternative to a current, familiar school lunch option, which still adheres to the financial or nutritional guidelines of the national program.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Tickets to the event include food and drink tastings and are on pre-sale online now through September 12 for $69. All the proceeds of the evening will go to support local efforts to help students grow up healthy and informed. For more information about Feeding the Future, visit the Slow Food Phoenix website.
