While Chinese food is yummy whether it’s takeout or dine-in, it’s a total mystery for most DIY-ers. Luckily 13th Annual Celebrity Chef Co-Chairs Effie and Brian Dennison and Michelle Chase and Elliot Zimmer are helping to solve that dilemma. They’ve arranged to have TV personality/cookbook author/restaurateur/YouTube host Chef Martin Yan as the celebrity du jour on Wednesday, March 29, for the 11:30 a.m. lunch and 6:30 p.m. dinner fundraiser for the Visiting Nurse Association.
His trophy room includes a Daytime Emmy Award for the best cooking show, a James Beard Award for Best TV Food Journalism, a James Beard Award for Best Cooking Show, the Courvoisier Leadership Award by Courvoisier and, most recently, the 2022 James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award.
