[title type="h3"]Jewish Roots Celebration[/title]
Saturday evening (6:30 p.m., March 5, to be exact) four well-known, adroit chefs who happen to be Jewish will cook for a big gathering at the Hyatt Regency Hotel for a fund-raising bash form the Jewish Children's Regional Service. Since 1855, the JCRS has aided Jewish children and families in trouble throughout the mid-South, with programs of outreach, scholarships, Jewish summer camps, and other assistance. Last year, over 1500 young people benefited from the JCRD programs.
The chefs are Alon Shaya of Shaya and Domenica; David Slater from Emeril's; Daniel Esses, of Three Muses; and Nathaniel Zimet of Boucherie. In addition, the staff of Commander's Palace will add to the richness of the dinner.
Also on the program is the Panorama Jazz Band. I will be there not only to enjoy the food and company, but also to make sure that my silent auction item of a dinner for four at a four- or five-star restaurant draws high bids.
The price is $200 per person, and can be obtained at www.jcrs.com, or by phone at 504-828-6334.
