Now that New York is getting back to some kind of normalcy, more than 300 guests carefully gathered at the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation’s Hamptons Happening. One of our favorite charitable events we were happy to return to. The popular annual charity food and wine event was back in a big way and raised more than $400,000 towards cancer research. The 17th annual event was a celebration of health and wellness, and the culmination of The Global Walk to Flatten the Cancer Curve with SWCRF partner, Walk with a Doc. Committee members Maria Fishel and Kenneth Fishel hosted the magical evening at their beautiful estate in Bridgehampton.
Hale and Hearty launched its first ever “Chef Series” on Wednesday at its 40th Street and 7th Avenue location in Manhattan. The “Chef Series” is a 6 week competition featuring 6 of New York City’s top Chefs. The chefs participating in the series are David Burke, Michael White, Chris Bradley, Nick Anderer, Michael Anthony and Bill Telepan. Each Chef put together their own soup for Hale and Hearty that will be served for 1 week at a time starting Oct. 29th. At the end of each week a portion of the soup’s sales will go to the charity of the chef’s choice.
