Dining history will be made at Quince Restaurant (470 Pacific Avenue) on July 29th as all 9 Bay Area chef’s with a prestigious four-star designation will come together to create a dinner of epic proportions. Proceeds will benefit the San Francisco and Marin Food Banks.

This exclusive engagement comes at a significant price: $1,500 per plate, or $2,500 per couple. Exclusive sponsorship packages are also available by contacting [email protected]. If the cost seems somewhat excessive, consider first what you are purchasing. This is quite simply one of the most impressive menus ever put together by a collection of some of the most prestigious chefs in the world. Add to that the fact that you’re helping to support an organization that distributes 45 million pounds of food to the neediest members of our community, half of which is fresh produce. That’s enough food for over 102,000 meals every day. And the Food Bank does more than just feed the needy, it educates them as well, helping seniors and families stretch their food budget.

Here’s the complete list of chefs that will be on-hand:

· Douglas Keane, Cyrus

· Alice Waters, Chez Panisse

Reservations can be made by calling (415) 775-8500, extension 31 or emailing [email protected]
