LONG TABLE DINNER
September 10th, 2017
Stratford Chefs School presents
Long Table Dinner
Sunday, September 10th
August 18, 2017, Stratford, ON
Stratford Chefs School’s signature fundraising event Long Table Dinner returns this September!
On Sunday, September 10th, Stratford Chefs School will host an exceptional outdoor dining experience at an historic Stratford location. Guests will gather around one long beautifully appointed table to enjoy a four-course dinner of incredible local food and complemented by wine from acclaimed Canadian winery Cave Spring Cellars.
Inspired by “Diner en Blanc”, guests are encouraged to dress all in white and experience the beauty of the city while participating in the unexpected.
A fundraising event, Long Table Dinner helps Stratford Chefs School raise the resources required to support student enrichment programs, such as the International Chef in Residence; a program that brings cutting edge chefs from around the world to the School, offering students the opportunity to experience culinary innovation and to make international connections. These programs distinguish the quality of education and training Stratford Chefs School students receive.
The Long Table Dinner is more than an important fundraising event for the School, however. It is also a beloved “friend-raising” event; a chance to enrich our support base by attracting new people to experience the School in action and increasing our visibility in Stratford and surrounding communities.
We look forward to welcoming you to this extraordinary Stratford Chefs School experience. Tickets are $125 per person. Each ticket will receive a $50 charitable tax receipt.
Tickets are available through the Stratford Chefs School’s website: www.stratfordchef.com
For more information please call 519.271.1414
Images and interviews are available.
