WOSU Public Media is featuring an innovative fundraiser for television spotlighting Gourmet Restaurants around Central Ohio. “Chefs in the City” will be held April 10, 6:30pm, 2008 (and airs on WOSU on April 24 at 8pm) spotlighting by many local restaurants and businesses. The philosophy behind the event is to highlight a number of high-end chefs from area restaurants to offer valuable cooking tips and tricks. In between cooking instruction times, we will auction many fine dining gift certificates, cookware, cookbooks, and other dining related items, with proceeds benefiting WOSU Public Media.
This event will take place 6:30pm at the North Market.
Tickets: $125/person, $200/pair.
