visionaries will gather for an evening of collaborative
discussion on the creative processes behind building a food
brand. “The Lifestyle of Food: Building a Food Brand,”
emceed by Adam
Gertler, a chef and TV personality who competed on Food
Network Star, will raise funds for Citymeals
on Wheels, which provides a continuous lifeline of
nourishing meals and vital companionship to New York City’s
homebound elderly.

conversation with their favorite food star.
