Chef Al Nappo and Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo at Chef’s Best

More than 50 DC celebrity chefs and mixologists turned out to serve their signature dishes for Chef’s Best on June 14. This annual fundraiser marked the 20th anniversary of Food & Friends, a charitable organization that provides food and nutrition counseling to people with life-challenging illnesses.

Executive Chef Al Nappo prepared and served Founding Farmers’ house-made blue crab ravioli in tomato basil butter with goat cheese.  From sister restaurant, Farmers & Fishers, his team also served gazpacho with tortilla strips and chocolate-covered bacon lollipops.

Jon Arroyo, Chief Mixologist for both restaurants and Alembic Cocktail Catering, served a refreshing summer cocktail. The Alembic Summer Punch Royale is a delicious combination of Pisco, Cointreau, pineapple juice, lime, lemon and a little sparkling wine.

The chefs, food, cocktails and the auction surely made this a night to remember.

UNICEF’s Tap Project

As part of UNICEF’s work on bringing clean water to children around the world, they have launched the Tap Project, a fundraiser where restaurants urge guests to donate $1 for water, with all donations going straight to the project.  Founding Farmers and Farmers & Fishers are on board to help increase awareness of the world water needs and your assistance is needed!

Since both Farmers locations serve tap water that’s been superfiltered and mineralized through Natura water stations, (and NO bottled water), this was a natural for us. A story in Food Safety News looks into the work UNICEF is doing—please come help us support them this week with your donation.  We’re asking guests to donate $1 per jug of water that is brought to the table and additional donations may be made at the restaurant.

Donations will be accepted at both restaurants through Saturday, March 27, 2010.   Thank you in advance for your support!

From the Food Safety News article “Restaurants Join in Clean Water Project” by Helena Bottemiller:

Next week, waitstaff at restaurants across the country will invite patrons to donate a dollar for their tap water to help UNICEF provide clean water to children across the globe.

Waterborne illness remains the second leading cause of death for children under the age of five–4,100 children die every day from water-related illnesses. Almost 900 million people lack access to clean water and UNICEF’s Tap Project aims to help cut that number in half by 2015.

During World Water Week 2010 (March 21-27), participating restaurants across the country–including top restaurants in Washington, DC and New York–will ask their customers to donate a dollar or more for their tap water to raise funds and awareness for the project.
