NEW YORK, April 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- From Michelin-starred restaurants to food trucks, bars and everything in between, EAT (RED) DRINK (RED) SAVE LIVES is a month-long campaign that unites the culinary world around one shared goal - the fight to deliver an AIDS Free Generation.

Joining Mario Batali in support of the campaign are a number of today's most world-renowned culinary figures, including Paul Qui, April Bloomfield, Dominique Ansel, Sanjeev Kapoor, Anthony Bourdain, Jose Andres, Art Smith, Michael Mina, Enrique Olvera, Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo - and many more.
