i was invited to this event by peta, city publicity & knew immediately it was something i really wanted to attend...the five chefs involved in the tasting event & dinner for the starlight children's foundation's signature fundraising event for 2011 are...tony percuoco (tartufo), javier codina (moda), pablo tordesillas (ortiga), mathieu astier (sofitel prive 249) & rhett willis (jellyfish).  all these chefs are excellent at their craft & to be invited to this private, intimate tasting was such a treat & priviledge!
