18-21
Williams Sonoma, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:
WSM) portfolio of brands, and Indie Chefs Week are proud to
announce Indie Chefs Week NYC 2017. From May 18 to 21, Indie Chefs
Week NYC 2017 will feature some of the best up-and-coming culinary
talent along with critically acclaimed industry veterans.
Twenty-seven chefs from across America will be cooking in a series
of dinners over four nights in the New York City area. This
anti-food festival features real, thoughtful dishes in multi-course
dinners that meet the lofty standards set by these independent
chefs in their own restaurant kitchens.
Three preliminary dinners will be held at Rebelle NYC (218
Bowery, New York, NY 10012) and for each, Indie Chefs Week will
match up nine chefs to cook one course of each meal for a small
group of food appreciators. The series culminates with a Grand
Finale Dinner in the Munchies Test Kitchen at Vice Media (49 S 2nd
St, Brooklyn, NY 11249) on the rooftop garden deck overlooking the
Manhattan skyline. All participating chefs will collaborate in
pairs on a 14 course tasting menu with all proceeds benefitting No
Kid Hungry.
“As a part of our ongoing commitment to support the chef
community, Williams Sonoma is proud to present Indie Chefs Week New
York,” said Janet Hayes, President of Williams Sonoma. “We love to
offer exclusive culinary experiences for our customers and Indie
Chefs is delivering an exceptional lineup of chef talent this year.
The fact that proceeds benefit No Kid Hungry makes it unbelievably
special to us, and everyone involved.”
Thursday tickets range from $195 for a dining room seat to $225
for a VIP seat inside the kitchen to witness the chef’s
collaboration to execute each dish thoughtfully and to the highest
standards. Friday and Saturday tickets start at $195 for a dining
room seat, and range up to $325 for a VIP counter seat overlooking
the chef’s kitchen. Tickets for the Grand Finale Dinner on Saturday
range from $225 for a dining room or patio seat to $325 for a VIP
seat inside the Munchies Test Kitchen in front of the chefs while
they execute the 14 course dinner. Tickets are non-refundable but

ABOUT INDIE CHEFS WEEK
Indie Chefs Week launched in 2013 as a face-to-face meeting of
the country’s best, young, most talented, up-and-coming chefs to
collaborate, network, and learn from each other in an in-person
setting that wasn’t another cattle call food festival. Tired of the
same celebrity chefs publicized over and over, founder Ned Elliott
noticed the explosive growth of bootstrapped PR by a group of
incredibly talented and passionate chefs running small, thoughtful
restaurants all over the country. The invention of social media,
particularly Twitter and Instagram, gave a platform for chefs to
show off their skills and reach a wider audience hungry for their
creations. However, the limitations of social media meant that
although the chefs were familiar with each other, they couldn’t
have a real, substantive dialog without meeting in person. To
foster the conversation and shine a light on these hard working
chefs, Indie Chefs Week was born. With the addition of Grover Smith
to help grow Indie Chefs Week, the event has expanded to include
four cities in 2017- Austin, New York, Los Angeles, and New
Orleans.
Other partner sponsors include: Tilit Chef Goods, Jacobsen Salt
& Bee Local Honey, Chubo Knives, Topochico, and McCormick for
Chefs.
