NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Five NYC chefs are all cramming into one kitchen for one night only, Monday, September 28th to raise money and awareness for A Life Story Foundation. This is the fourth annual event hosted by Hearth Restaurant, the former employer of Kevin Swan who founded A Life Story Foundation after his ALS diagnosis in 2012.
"This is truly my favorite event of the year. ALS has taken away so much from me, including the ability to enjoy the food these talented chefs will prepare. Thankfully I can still enjoy plenty of wine and all of the smiles and positivity that fill the dining room, " said Kevin Swan. Each chef will prepare a course and then speak to those attending about why he or she chose that particular dish. This year's celebrity chefs include:
- Seamus Mullen of Tertullia
- Howard Kalachnicoff of Gramercy Tavern
- Jordan Frosolone of Sessanta
- Marco Canora of Hearth
- Claudia Flemming of North Fork Table and Inn
"Thanks to the Ice Bucket Challenge, so many more people know what ALS is and how devastating of a disease it can be. I love the idea of having people enjoy the best food and wine NYC has to offer and at the same time raising money for research," said Swan.
Every course throughout the evening will be paired with wines from around the world. This year's event will also celebrate the life of NYC renowned chef Gerry Hayden who recently passed away from ALS. Hayden's wife, Claudia Flemming has been the pastry chef every year.
