The 10th Annual Celebration to benefit Jeff's Kitchen &
Hayground School Hosted by Toni Ross & Eric Ripert Honoring
Four-Star & Top Chef Tom Colicchio & Filmmaker Lori
Silverbush
Top Manhattan and Hamptons chefs were featured at the 2014
Chefs Dinner. In its 10th year, the event was held on
Sunday, August 3rd on Hayground School's campus
(151 Mitchell Lane, Bridgehampton) as a benefit for Jeff's
Kitchen and Hayground School. Confirmed chefs included
Alfred Portale (Gotham Bar & Grill), Jason Weiner (Almond),
Joe Realmuto (Nick & Toni's) and Christian Mir (Stone Creek
Inn). There was a live auction during dinner.
The Chefs Dinner is the primary fundraiser for
Bridgehampton's Hayground School www.haygroundschool.org and
an annual tribute to the late Jeff Salaway, beloved
restaurateur and one of the school's co-founders. Toni Ross,
artist and restaurateur (and the late Salaway's wife) says,
"Jeff believed that the growing, preparation and sharing of
food is a primal human experience and the foundation of
family and community." Hayground integrates classes in
nutrition, food science, cooking, and gardening into
its curriculum, using state-of-the-art Jeff's Kitchen as a
classroom. The school has long been at the forefront
of Edible Schoolyard and Slow Food movements.
