Project Angel Food Gets Cooking with YouTube’s Hungry for New DELISH Benefit on October 28th

Oct. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Project Angel Food, the non-profit organization responsible for providing over 13,000 nutritious meals every week to Angelenos in need, will be hosting a new food-centric fundraiser on Sunday evening, October 28 at Siren Studios in Hollywood.  The event, entitled: DELISH, will go beyond the typical food tasting by engaging attendees in the various “extras” or “How-to’s” that can turn a plain, simple dish into one that is forever memorable.  

DELISH will feature teams of culinary experts and mixologists who will guide guests on a foodie’s dream adventure in which attendees will be able to partake in their choice of diverse food & beverage experiences as they sample food and cocktails from all of the exciting participants. Many of the food stations and interactive experiences will star talent from HUNGRY: the New YouTube Food Channel and its growing list of All-Star Programs including “Duff's Food World” starring Duff Goldman, “Beer Cocktails with the Beer Chicks,”  “The Casserole Queens,” “Drink Inc.,” and “Rosa & Rico…On A Roll.” Additional experiences will be provided from a growing list of participants which includes Chambord Flavored Vodka, The Cotton Candy Girls, Dassai Sake, Jackie Sorkin (The Candy Queen), Little Black Dress Vodka, Mionetto Prosecco, Southern Comfort, Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant and Project Angel Food’s own bakers and more.  DELISH is sponsored by City National Bank, Brooks Brothers and AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

“We are all endlessly fascinated by what food is, how it is prepared, and how it makes us feel. Food is more than a meal.  With DELISH, we hope to show how a great food dish is more than the sum of its ingredients.  It’s about the experience,” says Jacqui Farina, Director of Special Events at Project Angel Food.  

Margaret Steele, CEO of Project Angel Food, adds, “At Project Angel Food, we’ve always been more than just a meal delivery. Sometimes the only contact our clients have with the outside world is with our staff or volunteers. We deliver more than just meals. We are a community. DELISH is a new opportunity for us to create community with food. Our selection of experts at DELISH will highlight the various processes that make food so entertaining and captivating to us all.”

DELISH attendees can choose from two levels of participation: the Sous-Chef level at $100.00 or the Chef level at $175.00.  At the Sous-Chef level, guests will be able to enjoy all the delicious food and beverages available throughout the evening; additionally they will have the opportunity to partake in three of the unique culinary experiences and receive a grocery tote.  The Chef level also allows for guests to enjoy all of the evening’s delectable edibles and refreshments; guests at the Chef level may partake in all of the evening’s culinary experiences.  Chef level participants will also receive a commemorative DELISH designer apron courtesy of Brooks Brothers and a grocery tote.
