For those who like a little celebrity with their signature dishes and charitable deeds, the Arizona Chapter of the March of Dimes has all three in spades.
From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., this Thursday, November 10, at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, a host of Valley chefs including Vincent Guerithault of Vincent on Camelback, Beau MacMillan of Elements at the Sanctuary, and Tammie Coe of Tammie Coe Cakes will join Rahman "Rock" Harper, season three winner of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, to treat guests to an array of culinary masterpieces, vintage wines, and "Holy Shit!" auction items that, according to the Phoenix Business blog, include packages such as dinner for 10 prepared by Chef Guerithault at a private hilltop home; the use of a Mercedes Benz during a seven-day stay in Germany and a tour of the Mercedes Benz factory; and a 10-course meal and wine pairing courtesy of chef James Porter of Petite Maison.
