Meals On Wheels of San Francisco’s 20th Annual Star Chefs & Vintners Gala

As reported in an earlier post, Jen has been invited to participate in the 2007 Star Chefs and Vintners Gala benefiting Meals on Wheels of San Francisco. On Sunday, May 20, 2007 at Fort Mason, this year's event will mark its 20th Anniversary with names such as Charles Phan of The Slanted Door, James Syhabout of PlumpJack Café, Michael Mina of Michael Mina, Nancy Oakes & Pamela Mazzola of Boulevard, Nate Appleman of A16 Restaurant, Richard Reddington of Redd, Ron Siegel of The Dining Room at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, Traci Des Jardins of Jardinière, Thomas Keller of The French Laundry, and many others. The night will be an epicurean extravaganza for foodies and wine lovers of the San Francisco Bay Area. Attendees will begin the night with an extravagant hors d'oeuvre and wine reception prepared by more than two dozen chefs. They will then embark on a gastronomical adventure in the food-and-wine-paired, three-course main event provided by the most notable chefs and vintners around. This is to be followed by delightful cordials, dancing, and of course, dessert, in part, to be provided by our very own Pastry Chef Jennifer Kenny Nguyen. Ticket & Donor Information
