Holy Delish Dishes Batman: Michelin Star Chefs Coming This Way Quickly

A super-powered dinner has materialized suddenly—and from a look at the lineup the tickets might go at a similar speed. The RSVP is already nigh, in fact. (Call 236-5858 now.)

The local American Institute of Wine & Food and American Red Cross tribes have aligned four of Nor Cal's most capable chefs in Charles Phan (The Slanted Door, San Francisco), Ken Frank (La Toque, Napa), Peter Armellino (The Plumed Horse, Saratoga) and Gerald Hirigoyen (Piperade, S.F.) for "An Evening to Remember" 5:30pm Saturday, Sept. 11, at the Beach and Tennis Club in Pebble Beach. The privilege runs $250, includes the champagne reception, silent auction and entertainment, and could even merit a black tie (read: that's optional). "To remember" sounds right after a look at the menu below:

Champagne Reception Chorizo Empanadas with Pimentos de Padron (Chef Hirigoyen) Daikon Rice Cakes (Chef Phan) Arancini with Truffled Taleggio (Chef Lopez) Rosti Potatoes with California Caviar and Crème Fraîche (Chef Frank) Amuse Bouche Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras on Walnut Fig Bread Strawberry Rhubarb Compote Chef Peter Armellino
