March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction of DC on Monday October 27th

[jiveturk21]

I wanted to make sure that everyone knew about the best, as far as I am concerned, event that the March of Dimes does every year. It is called Signature Chefs and it is happening on Monday October 27th at the Ritz Carlton on 22nd Street NW. For more information about the event, go ahead and check out the website - http://www.marchofdimes.com/marylandmetrodc/31887_12761.asp.

Here is the deal...you will almost never have the opportunity to each this much amazing food from all these incredible chefs at one time, it is a dream to be there that night and try everything that these chefs are churning out. And, if you are feeling extra generous, they have both a live auction (about 15 items) and a silent auction (about 200 items) that you can bid on, many of these items are food and wine related. Oh yeah, you also get to help out a great cause, something that we can all get behind.

Like I said, you can go to the website to see more details, but here is a preview of the list of chefs that are going to be there, not too shabby...
