Made with Moxie collects massive talent for book release and benefit
Some of Philly's most kick-ass women will show off at Barbuzzo's Made with Moxie dinner.
Made with Moxie collects massive talent for book release and benefit
We’ll just say it: we think the upcoming Made with Moxie “all girl chefs’ dinner” to be hosted by Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran is one of the don’t-miss meals of the year. The dinner, which brings together some of the strongest talent in the city, is being thrown to celebrate the release of Charlotte Druckman’s book Skirt Steak: Woman Chefs on Standing the Heat and Staying in the Kitchen. (Druckman spoke with and tagged along after more than 70 female chefs to create her of-the-moment portrait of women in professional kitchens.)
At $95 for a six-course meal with wine and cocktail pairings, plus a copy of the book, the evening is kind of a major steal. What’s more, a portion of the proceeds from the night will benefit Women Against Abuse. And we’re not blowing smoke when we say the talent pool is stupid impressive: working the line that night will be Natalie Maronski of Chifa; Jen Carroll, who Philly will always claim as its own despite Concrete Blonde’s NYC location; Anne Coll, whose menu at Meritage has the distinction of making Craig LaBan rethink his stance on Restaurant Week; Susan VanVreede of Distrito; Monica Glass, whose move to Boston’s Clio was a loss as keenly felt as any we’ve seen; and of course, host Marcie Turney, cooking alongside colleague Lindsay McClain of Jamonera.
By way of lily-gilding, the menu also includes a pair of incredible-looking cocktails from Katie Loeb of U-City’s Han Dynasty, and bartender/consultant Phoebe Esmon (check out this profile and recipe from June, courtesy of former Meal Ticketeer Felicia D’Ambrosio).
The meal is scheduled for Sun., Oct. 21 at Barbuzzo (110 S. 13th St.), and you’ll need to call for reservations. The menu, which is strong enough to speak for itself, is listed in full below.
