We feel incredibly honored to be hosting the 2010 Share Our Strength Leadership Awards in Washington D.C. at the annual Conference of Leaders. It’s a night for SOS to celebrate excellence within the organization and to honor its community leaders, participating chefs, corporate partners and event innovators.
We stand united with SOS in the pursuit to end childhood hunger. A dozen awards will be given this year to distinguished individuals who have donated time, money, sweat and love to the organization.
The Leadership Awards culminate the 2010 conference and take place Sunday Oct. 17th at The Fairmont Hotel in D.C. Sandra Lee is a featured speaker and some amazing chefs will be in attendance. 5 chefs (all top secret) will be catering the reception prior to the awards. (once we are allowed to say who, we’ll let you know).
Max and I are working diligently on a great comical song number to kick off the night that will feature many of the nominees accomplishments to the tune of 2010’s big hits from Lady GaGa, Eminem, Taylor Swift and Kanye West.* Additionally, Pauly D from the cast of Jersey Shore will be presenting an award for “best cooking TV show personality of the year”!**

For the past several months I have been working as part of the Taste of the Nation: Los Angeles Marketing Team. The event, held June 6th in Culver City at the Media Park (across from the Trader Joe’s) is the premiere chef event in the city. It’s really insane how many awesome restaurants come out for it. There will be a bunch of wineries, several incredible liquor sponsors, a live demo, a silent auction featuring amazing items (like having your script read by the Director of Development at Ratner Productions and 100’s of other things).
Some of my favorite places that are confirmed so far:
Animal, Akasha, Comme Ca,Hatfield’s, Grace,Mozza, AOC, Tavern,The Foundry… and dozens more to be confirmed soon.
