Chef helps to raise over $50,000 for World Central Kitchen

Newtown Chef Plum recently organized a celebrity chef beer dinner to benefit the World Central Kitchen.

The April 25 event raised over $50,000 as Food Network television network chefs came together to support the crisis in Ukraine.

The celebrated chefs, who are known for heating things up on the network, partnered with the Boston Beer company, and prepared a six course dinner that was paired with beers, all to benefit the World Central Kitchen.

The Chefs were: Chef Plum, who is also from PBS and National Public Radio, along with Jeff Purazzi, who is the co-host of the the Plumluvfoods podcast, Nick Calias from the Hotel Colonnade television show on the Food Network, chef Michele Ragussis, who is also a Food Network Judge, Robert Sisca, who is a chef, and a partner at The Banks, and the Bistro du Midi venues of the Himmel Hospitality Group, and Adam Young, who is a pastry chef on the Food Network.

The 65-person dinner took place at the Boston tap room and was organized by Chef Plum after a conversation with Jamie Mcdonald on “Seasoned” from WNPR radio.
