WOSU Public Media featured an innovative fundraiser for television spotlighting Gourmet Restaurants around Central Ohio. “Chefs in the City” aired on WOSU on April 24 at 8pm spotlighting by many local restaurants and businesses. We highlighted high-end chefs from area restaurants who offer cooking tips and tricks. In between cooking demonstrations, we auctioned many fine dining gift certificates, cookware, cookbooks, and other dining related items, with proceeds benefiting WOSU Public Media.

Our online Auction is over. If you need to pick up your Auction items, please call the Auction office: 614.292.4510
