| There's a chocolate risotto recipe in there. |
Fans of "muscular Mediterranean" cooking and the hunky, chiseled-cheekboned superchef who makes it are in for a treat today. At 5:30 p.m., celebrity chef Todd English (Olives in Boston, NYC and Vegas, among others) will hosts three of Philadelphia's chef-restaurateurs at Macy's (1300 Market St., third floor) for a dinner party to benefit our region's largest hunger relief organization, PhilAbundance.
Douglas Rodriguez of Alma de Cuba, Brian Wilson of Le Castagne and Olivier Desaintmartin of Caribou Caf� will each prepare their restaurant's signature dish, while English greets customers and signs copies of his newest cookbook, The Olives Table (Simon & Schuster).
On the menu is Rodriguez's salmon bundles with pickled carrots, limes and crunchy garlic, Desaintmartin's skatefish Parisienne and Wilson's handmade gnocchi with sun-dried tomato pesto. English will be doing a cooking demonstration, showing guests how he prepares a classic minestrone with herbed ricotta crostini.
A spate of Restaurant Week participants will also be on hand. Look for bites from The Plough & The Stars, Bistro St. Tropez, Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, Joe Pesce and D'Angelo's Ristorante Italiano & Lounge.
Tickets to the event are $25, and every dollar goes to Philabundance. RSVP to 1-888-622-9769.
