2nd Annual Chefs for a Cure

Event Description

Executive chef Paula DaSilva and 1500°, the popular new farm-to-table dining destination in the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach, are hosting the 2^nd Annual Chefs for a Cure event on Thursday, October 18, 2012. This exquisite dinner and reception will feature ten stations, each prepared by a stellar line-up of star chefs and paired perfectly with an array of amazing wines. Proceeds will benefit the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), in honor of DaSilva’s close friend who succumbed to the disease. The talented chefs for the evening include Dean Max of 3030 Ocean, Michael Bloise, Todd Erikson of Haven, Michael Reidt of Area 31, Lauren DeShields of Market 17, Simon Stojanovic of Altamare, Roy Villacrusis of The Studio at Bangkok O-Cha, Jeff McInnis of Yardbird, Conor Hanlon of Dutch Miami and Mike Saperstein of Rebel House.

“Chefs for a Cure is a wonderful opportunity to bring incredibly talented chefs together to raise money for cancer research,” says DaSilva. “And the American Association for Cancer Research is a wonderful organization to support. In 2010, my dear friend Leah Caputo lost her 11-year battle to breast cancer. I wanted to honor her life by bringing chefs, friends and family together to enjoy two of Leah's favorites – great food and wine – all while continuing to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.”
