Chefs for Equality brought together the capital region’s top chefs, pastry chefs and mixologists for an evening of food, cocktails and music at the Ritz-Carton West End on Oct. 26 spearheaded by prominent food writer David Hagedorn to benefit the fight for full LGBTQ equality. Guests enjoyed savory tasting and drink stations presided over by leading local chefs and mixologists as well as eight personal chef tables providing an opportunity to dine with celebrity chefs for a lavish five-course meal. The event honored the late Michel Richard as silent and live auctions raised funds for the cause.
