The table is set for Delicious Alchemy: The Banquet, Celebrating 10 Years of Recipe for Success Foundation — and what a table it is. Chairs Gracie and Bob Cavnar have orchestrated a 10-course banquet prepared by 10 iconic chefs, to be served under the sparkling chandeliers at The Dunlavy.

The chefs are all founding members of Recipe for Success Foundation’s Chefs Advisory Board, who helped create the nonprofit’s award-winning programs. Bryan Caswell, Charles Clark, Robert Del Grande, Monica Pope, Elouise “Ouisie” Adams Jones, Randy Evans, Lance Fegen, Randy Rucker, Peter Garcia and John Sheely will each create a course, to be complemented with wines from Anna de Codorníu Cava Brut and Long Meadow Ranch, as well as craft beer curated by Silver Eagle Distributors.

Specialty gourmet items will be donated by Dr Delicacy, D’Artagnan and Sysco, with music selected by Paul English and decor spun by StevenPaul Creative Resources. PaperCity serves as media sponsor.
