To benefit the James Beard Foundation and Fulton Youth of the Future's Culinary Scholarships.
Housed in a former biscuit factory, Manhattan’s Chelsea Market is now a bustling hub of epicurean shops and restaurants. For this annual Friends of James Beard Benefit, we invite some of the best chefs from New York City and around the country to prepare a lively family-style feast, which is held in the market’s lofty main hall.
