~ Fundraiser Benefits James Beard Foundation and Fulton Youth of the Future Culinary Scholarships

New York, NY (March TK, 2010) – On Sunday, March 28, Chef Hugh Acheson will lend his culinary skills at the second annual Sunday Supper at Chelsea Market, an open-to-the-public fundraiser featuring 30 of the nation’s most respected chefs as they collaborate on the ultimate gourmet, family-style menu—complemented by fine wines from Chelsea Market’s Chelsea Wine Vault. Chelsea Market, New York City’s most iconic artisanal marketplace, will once again transform its grand concourse into a 240-foot-long supper table to host this popular event.

Funds raised in conjunction with the Sunday Supper sit-down dinner will support the Fulton Youth of the Future Culinary Scholarships at the Robert Fulton Houses and advance the mission of the James Beard Foundation, which celebrates, nurtures, and preserves America’s culinary heritage and diversity. The Fulton Youth of the Future Culinary Scholarships are administered by the James Beard Foundation.


Sunday Supper at Chelsea Market will take place on Sunday, March 28. Reception begins at 6 p.m., and multicourse dinner begins at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $180 for James Beard Foundation Members and $220 for the general public (GP price includes free JBF Friend Membership and $50 dining certificate – see www.jamesbeard.org/friend). To reserve your seat, call 212.627.2308 or visit www.jamesbeard.org/chelseamarket.
