Chefs United For a Cure

Former Time Out contributing critic Simon Majumdar is fighting oligodendroglioma, a rare incurable form of brain cancer. Together with fellow Food Network faces Antonia Lofaso (Dama), Mei Lin (Daybird) and Brooke Williamson (Playa Provisions), the globetrotting British American food writer is hosting a one-night-only benefit dinner for Oligo Nation, a nonprofit that funds research into how to treat and potentially cure this rare disease. Held at one of Lofaso’s other restaurants, Venice’s Scopa Italian Roots, Chefs United For a Cure will consist of a four-course family-style meal featuring dishes by all three chefs and a wine pairing, a meet-and-greet with Majumdar, a cocktail reception (with early access for VIP ticketholders) and live auction.
