Tonight, Chicago chefs are raising money to benefit earthquake victims

CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago’s hospitality community is gathering Monday night to raise funds for those affected by earthquakes in Syria and Turkey.

The Avli on the Park benefit in Lakeshore East will raise money for World Central Kitchen’s relief effort with 45 Chicago chefs, who will create a small dish of their restaurant’s signature dishes.

“We’re going to bring some of the best culinary experts from Chicago together, thanks to the amazing Chicago Chefs Cook organization. They’re going to eat some delicious meals, raise money for a great cause, and be hosted at Alvi’s at Bar Goa,” said Chef Manish Mallick, owner of Bar Goa.

It’s the fourth time Chicago Chefs Cook has hosted a benefit dinner, Malik said. Other events raised money for Ukraine. the humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia; Hurricane victims in Puerto Rico.

“Food, as we all know, is a great nourisher, a healer, and in my opinion one of the greatest universal units. An analogy I like to use is languages,” Malik said. “All over the world you have hundreds of languages, thousands of dialects as we travel across different geographies; and food is basically something that everyone has to cook every day to stay nourished and heal themselves. Fortunately, chefs all over the world are able to use a similar set of ingredients. But with their cultural heritage and passion, you can cook some wonderful, delicious and different types of meals. So of course the food is the biggest unit.” The owner of the chicken will serve a plate of basmati rice with butter chicken. Using tomatoes, red peppers, cashews, garlic paste, ginger and cream.

Other chefs will also bring signature dishes from their restaurants.

The Syria and Turkey benefit will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and has already raised more than $40,000 for World Central Kitchen.

Last year’s event raised money for Ukraine. You can purchase tickets online or donate at givebutter.com/cccearthquakerelief. Tickets are still available for $125 for general admission, or $225 for VIP access.
