CUESA's 11th Annual Sunday Supper

Sunday, October 20, 2013, 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Evening Party

Sunday Supper is an elegant celebration of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market community and California’s rich agricultural bounty. Thirty of San Francisco’s best chefs join winemakers, bartenders, and sustainable farmers in the historic Ferry Building for one memorable evening supporting CUESA’s 20 years of nurturing small family farms, building a sustainable food community, and educating the next generation of eaters.

The gala evening kicks off with a reception featuring an exclusive view of the star-studded kitchen, accompanied by sparkling wine, local oysters, artisan cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres. In the spirit of the farmers market community, dinner is served family style on long communal tables upstairs, in the Grand Hall. The Sunday Supper features six distinct, market-inspired menus created by teams of chefs who collaboratively plan the four-course meal. Evening emcee Chef Ryan Scott will introduce each whole-beast entrée and interview chefs at the tables about their dishes.

A live auction featuring one-of-a kind, culinary-themed items will complete the evening’s festivities (see package details below).

This year’s gala focuses on CUESA’s newest educational initiative: Foodwise Kids. This innovative program uses the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market as a classroom for teaching elementary students to love vegetables and fruits through comparative tastings, exploring the market, and a hands-on cooking lesson. Since its beginning in September 2012, the hugely popular program has reached capacity, with classrooms being placed on a waiting list. By raising $26,000, CUESA can double the number of students served and run the program twice a week during the school year.

Special thanks to our presenting sponsors Equity Office Properties and Bon Appétit Management Company.

Tickets are $250 per person ($175 is tax deductible)

Sponsored tables of 8 start at $6,000. Please contact Christine Farren at christine@cuesa.org or 415.291.3276 x 101.

We hope this impressive list of participating chefs and the knowledge that your contribution will help us cultivate a healthy food system together will entice you to join us at Sunday Supper.
