This oversized collection of autographed photographs will be a special exhibit on the show floor and will be auctioned off pre-show to benefit the City Harvest food rescue program.

This prestigious group of chefs includes: Lidia Bastianich, Daniel Boulud, Tom Colicchio, Larry Forgione, Johnny Iuzzini, Francois Payard, Eric Ripert, Laurent Tourondel, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
The 27” x 33” framed & matted photographs will be personally autographed by each chef and are being auctioned off online for one month prior to the Show. In addition to the online auction, the entire collection of autographed photographs will be on display in a special exhibit on the Show floor and on Monday, March 10th a check from the proceeds will be presented to City Harvest.
