The other day there was this very sad message from the firehouse that lost Lt. Edward Walsh and Firefighter Michael Kennedy. Terrible things happen to brave men and women, people want to help, so they bring food. Even firefighters can only eat so much. If you are someone who is inclined to cook when people are sad, sick, or hurt, this message was a reminder of the things that you cannot fix with cooking.
On a brighter note, there are some folks, because they are very talented and work really hard, can cook food that other people will pay money for. Because many of these chefs are generous, they are getting together to have a benefit dinner for the Walsh-Kennedy Memorial fund.
Some of Boston's top chefs are teaming up to help raise money for the families of our two fallen Boston firefighters. Chefs including Ken Oringer, Ming Tsai, Jay Hajj ,Michael Schlow, Mike Smith, Ting Yen, Jamie Bissonnette, Michael Scelfo and Monica Glass are preparing a nine-course dinner, uniquely created for this event. Each of them are donating and personally cooking their own course as well as matching an appropriate wine pair.
Sounds like a good deal. If you can't swing it or if you can't make it, you can make a donation using the same form.
