Chef Guillermo Tellez of Square 1682 (Hotel Palomar, 117 S. 17th St.) will be hosting a collaborative with James Beard award-winning chef Susanna Foo. Tellez, formerly of Starr's go at Striped Bass, prides his global array of dishes on their inclusion of sustainable, local and organic ingredients. Once upon a time, these chefs were practically next-door neighbors, before Foo moved her fine-dining Chinese kitchen from Walnut Street to Lancaster Avenue in Radnor. So, on Sunday, Tellez and Foo will be working together at Square to present a three-course dinner for $65 a person . Each course will feature a dish prepared by each chef, side by side, complete with wine pairings of reserve selections from Penns Woods Winery in Chaddsford.A portion of the night's profit will go toward the Philadelphia Academies charity to benefit the integrity of our public schools. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., there will be a chef-hosted canape reception, where you can rub elbows, sip local Traminette and snack on truffle and wild mushroom dumplings and classic Cantonese rabbit Soong with pine nuts and honey, among other small bites. At 7 p.m., seated dinner begins, and you really don't want to miss this showcase of talent. See why by checking out the menu in full after the jump.
