ELMHURST - Tempt your tastebuds with dozens of delicious dishes prepared by some of the western suburbs most celebrated chefs at Chef Fest 2006. This annual culinary event takes place on Thursday, March 30, at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace, from 5:30 - 9:30 p.m., with proceeds benefiting new neonatal incubators for the Special Care Nursery in Elmhurst Memorial Hospital's Family Birthing Center.
The chefs that will be generously providing the food and drinks this year come from restaurants, hotels, bakeries and catering companies ranging from Angelo's Ristorante and the Clubhouse to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and Emilio's Tapas, to CHOW and Sweet Baby Ray's.
"There is truly something for everyone at Chef Fest," said Kaye Murrell, Chairman of the EMH Guild. "It's an excellent opportunity for people to enjoy their favorite area restaurants and also try something new and at the same time, raise money for Elmhurst Memorial Hospital."
The evening will also include a silent auction and cash raffle. A donation of $50 per person is required. Tables of ten for $500 are available in advance; individual tickets may be purchased at the door. To purchase tickets for Chef Fest, or for more information, please call Carol Finan, 630-832-4972.
