Signature Chefs Event Helps March of Dimes

Twenty-four of Rhode Island’s top chefs “come to the table” with their signature dishes to support the State’s tiniest citizens at 10th Anniversary of March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction Event. The chefs will leave their restaurant posts for the day and create samplings of their dishes for guests. In addition to the “Signature Chef” samplings, highlights of the evening include the participation of celebrity auctioneer and entertainer Sir Jeremy Bill of Edinburgh, Scotland, who will be auctioning off superb culinary, accommodation, theater, and vacation packages; and a tribute to Chef Sai Viswanath
of DeWolf Tavern in Bristol. Viswanath will be presented with the March of Dimes 2011 Signature
Chef Award.

Participating local chefs include:  Karsten Hart of The Inn at Castle Hill, Kevin Gaudreau of The Pier, David Blessing of Belle Mer, Kevin Thiele of One Bellevue, Christian
Pieper of Salvation Café, and Kim Lambrechts of Grill at 41 North – all of Newport; Sai Viswanath
of DeWolf Tavern, Champe Speidel of Persimmon, and Rizwan Ahmed of Hourglass Brasserie –
all of Bristol; Jonathan Cambra of The Boat House in Tiverton

The Signature Chefs Auction begins at 6 p.m. and tickets are $125. Corporate and host tables are
available, and the March of Dimes hopes that individuals and companies recognize the opportunity to
help babies and their families while enjoying inventive and succulent dishes in an elegant venue.
