Partygoers enjoyed cuisine prepared by some of the finest chefs in and around New Orleans. Chef Thomas Wolfe, Chef Chairman, led a talented team which included Scott Boswell (Stella), Tory McPhail (Commander�s Palace), Tenney Flynn (GW Fins), Jared Tees (Lüke), Chuck Subra (La Côte Brasserie), Andrea Apuzzo (Andrea�s Restaurant and Catering).
Along with Host Chef Matt Murphy of the Ritz-Carlton hotel, the team worked together to prepare a host of their most delicious dishes for the event.
Participating chefs were honored at the event for their dedication and post-hurricane contributions to the city of New Orleans. Each chef was given a chef�s jacket, donated by Custom Apparel.
Along with fine food, the party featured the music of Out of the Blue, and live and silent auctions. Auction items included a couture gown by Harold Clarke, a white gold diamond pendant from Barattini Jewelers and Antiques, and dinner for four, with wine pairing, from Rio Mar.
Proceeds from the evening�s festivities benefited the March of Dimes, an organization dedicated to preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality through research, advocacy and education.
