Houston culinary all-star chefs are joining together to host a multi-course dinner to raise medical funds for friend, fellow food-lover and consummate volunteer Liz Fenton. There will only be 120 seats for this exclusive dinner.
To celebrate Fenton’s love of food, a feast will be prepared by this all-star chef team:
-- Chris Shepherd of Underbelly -- Adam Dorris of Pax Americana -- Manabu "Hori" Horiuchi of Kata Robata -- Ronnie Killen of Killen's BBQ & Killen's Steakhouse -- Hugo Ortega of Hugo's, Caracol & Backstreet Cafe -- Ryan Pera of Coltivare & Revival Market -- Seth Siegel Gardner & Terrence Gallivan of The Pass and Provisions -- Justin Yu and Karen Man of Oxheart
Desserts will be crafted by Rebecca Masson of Fluff Bake Bar and Philip Speer formerly of Uchi & Uchiko.
Each chef will be preparing one dish which will be paired with wine by sommelier, Justin Vann of Public Services. The meal will be served Fenton’s favorite way to eat: family-style.
Some of the dishes to expect are Shepherd’s Korean fried chicken, Killen’s BBQ beef ribs, Pera’s whole roasted fish, three kinds of sashimi by Chef Hori, Dorris’ Smoked Beef Tartare with fermented pickles, tonnato, mustards and mesquite corn sourdough, and Ortega’s lobster tamales.
Tickets are available for a suggested cash donation of $300 per person at:
-- Fluff Bake Bar, 314 Gray Street -- Underbelly, 1100 Westheimer St. -- Oxheart, 1302 Nance -- Killen's BBQ, 3613 E Broadway
