Sunday's first-ever CB Cares Celebrity Chef & Waiter Gala at Bucks County Golf Club in Jamison has a neat twist:
Chefs Walter Staib of City Tavern, Lilly Salvatore of Lilly’s on the Canal and Lilly’s Gourmet, and Max Hansen of Max Hansen Caterer will prepare a three-course, wine-paired menu and all of the ingredients, decorations and wine will be gathered within 15 miles of the country club. A dessert reception will follow.
“It is our hope for each vendor to only use a little less than a gallon of gas to contribute to the gala," says Kimberly Cambra, executive director of CB Cares, which provides programs for youth and parents in Central Bucks County.
The night won't be totally green. There's a raffle for a 2008 Porsche Boxster, which -- while more fuel-efficient than many sports cars -- is by no means a hybrid.
Gala tickets are $100 per person. Contact: 215-489-9120.
