Big Guns: Alice Waters

The mother of all things slow food and farm-to-table, Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, will be visiting Denver on a mission to help fundraise for the Center for Women's Health Research at the University of Colorado. It is not often that such nationally acclaimed food icons visit the mile high city. 

The owner of the famed Berkeley restaurant, will attend two events: a small gathering and private reception on September 4th and a community luncheon on September 5th.  

The private reception on September 4th will feature four of Colorado's top chefs: Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall, Hugo Matheson of the Kitchen, Alex Seidel of Fruition, and Erik Skokan of Black Cat and Bramble and Hare. This foursome will create a menu that will serve up to 50 guests at a private home in Cherry Hills starting at 4:00 p.m. Whole Foods sponsored part of this event by donating ingredients. A few tickets are still available for this event for the peppered price of $750 a person - all going to a great cause. If you are interested, send an email to carolyn.doyle@ucdenver.edu.

On September 5th, a Community Luncheon will be held at the Seawell Grand Ballroom at DCPA. This larger gathering comes with the price tag of $100. Click here for registration and more information.
