Chefs in town sure seem generous with donating their time to charities and event. There was last week's Green City Market BBQ, of course, and this big ticket fundraiser Friday night at the Peninsula Hotel (108 E. Superior St.). Proceeds from the "Chefs and the City" event will support Vital Bridges, a non-profit providing housing, food, nutrition, case-management and prevention services to HIV-positive Chicagoans.

Some of the chefs participating at the 7-10 p.m. event include Carrie Nahabedian, Arun Sampanthavivat, Ryan Poli, Paul Kahan, Brian Huston, Shawn McClain, Carol Wallack and Rick Gresch. RL's Ryan Pitts is the event's Chef's chair. Tickets are $250, with an after-party at RL costing another $150.
