2010 Flavors of San Diego Culinary Gala

Join us for the 7th Annual Flavors of San Diego Culinary Gala on Monday, March 15, 2010 at the beautiful Omni Hotel, San Diego. The Flavors Gala is a national culinary event that spotlights San Diego’s premier chefs and creates a one-of-a-kind gourmet experience for each guest. Proceeds from the Gala will directly benefit the American Liver Foundation - Pacific Coast and Hawaii Division, helping the Association in the fight against liver diseases.

During the Gala, each chef prepares a five course culinary extravaganza with wine pairings for their personal table of ten guests. The evening begins with a cocktail reception and silent auction, at the end of which guest will join their cuisine aficionado who will be hosting them at each table. Guests go on to enjoy the signature cuisine and wine pairings of a celebrity chef, while also participating in a live auction featuring exciting trips, unique experiences, wine collections, personally hosted parties in their home by some of our featured chefs and more. No where else can San Diegans see these culinary experts at work—creating a menu that goes above and beyond the usual restaurant fare—while also benefiting a worthy cause. We are honored to announce our 2010 Chef Chair, Chef Kurt Metzger with Concept Catering by CK and our 2010 Culinary Chair, Josh Kopelman, Publisher of Dining Out Magazine.
