150 of the best chefs in New York City will converge at The Prince George Ballroom in Manhattan for the 8th Annual Great Gathering of Chefs, where they’ll sign the first 100 copies of the new cookbook Street Eats by food photographer extraordinaire, Alan “Battman” Batt. The book features recipes from celebrated and distinguished chefs like Eric Ripert, Michael White, Daniel Boulud, Shaun Hergatt, David Burke and Emeril Lagasse. It also includes young up and comers like Matt Corbett and “Iron Chef” Marc Forgione. The foreword was written by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. After the signing there will be an extraordinary tasting from 20 of New York’s finest restaurants including Jean Georges, David Burke’s Townhouse, Shaun Hergatt’s SHO, Sushi Samba, Michael White’s Osteria Morini, The Lion, Telepan and Blue Smoke. Each participating restaurant will serve their take on street food paired with a selection of great beers. Only 350 tickets will be sold for the tasting at $125. For $250, a person can attend the tasting and get a reserved, signed book. There are 20 special VIP tickets available for $1,000. VIP tickets give attendees an opportunity like no other — exclusive entry to the signing event where they can meet the chefs in person, a complimentary book autographed by every chef attending, and tickets to the tasting. This unique event donates 100 per cent of the money raised to Action Against Hunger, a leading humanitarian organization that saves the lives of malnourished children around the world. This year, the event is 100 per cent GREEN. All products used will be biodegradable or recyclable—even the garbage bags!
