Meet Me Tonight To Eat Food by Great Chefs For a Great Cause

Posted by Ed Levine, November 3, 2008 at 10:00 AM

Clockwise from top left: Mike Psilakis, Thomas Keller, Tom Valenti, and Daniel Boulud.

Tonight at 6 p.m. at the Union Theological Seminary (3041 Broadway at 121st Street) I will be eating a phenomenal pre-Thanksgiving buffet prepared by some of the world's greatest chefs. And you can join me to eat seriously at the annual Thanks for Giving Feast by plunking down $125 (per ticket) to support the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), a truly great organization that I helped create this event for six years ago.

What is ABC and what does it do?

"Association to Benefit Children (ABC) is dedicated to bringing joy and warmth to disadvantaged children and their families through compassionate, sustainable, comprehensive and integrated services, designed to permanently break the cycles of abuse, neglect, sickness and homelessness. ABC’s humane and innovative programs today include early childhood education for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, educational advocacy, housing assistance, mental health services, family support and preservation, crisis intervention, therapeutic out-of-school and summer day camp programs, youth leadership development and mentoring."

Some come meet me tonight and chow down on the following for a great cause:

Chocolate bouchons from Per Se's Thomas Keller
Soft polenta from West Branch's Tom Valenti
Stuffing from Anthos' Mike Psilakis
Baby Back Ribs from Charles Gabriel's Rack & Soul
Chestnut-Apple Soup from Bar Boulud's Daniel Boulud
Roasted Squash from Esca's Dave Pasternack
