Chairs for Charity

Did you see the Chair's for Charity Gallery yet from 2011? 
Chicago Home + Garden's second annual Chairs for Charity event was a hit, as more than 250 of Chicagoland's design lovers came out in support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 

Hosted at Chicago Art Source in Lincoln Park, Chairs for Charity featured re-imagined vintage chairs from 15 of Chicago's top designers, architects, and artists. Guests enjoyed delicious bites from chef Jared Van Camp's highly anticipated restaurant, Nellcôte, while bidding on chairs throughout the evening. The event raised more than $7,000 to support research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams was the sponsor of the auction program book.

Stephanie Izard

Book signing follows talk at 7:30 pm

Stephanie Izard was born in the Chicago suburb of Evanston but grew up in 

Stamford, Connecticut, where her parents got her hooked on food with their 

themed dinner parties, weekly menus posted on the fridge and a life-changing

trip to Epcot where she couldn’t wait to get home and recreate the crepes she 

ate in “France.” As much as she loved cooking (and eating), she went the traditional 

route first and got a sociology degree from University of Michigan. Soon thereafter, 

she discovered that all she really wanted to do was cook. After graduating from the 

Le Cordon Bleu program at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, she worked at several 

restaurants, including the Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, before making the decision 

to return to Chicago in 2001. Stephanie is the winner of season four of 

Bravo’s Top Chef, owner and executive chef at Girl and the Goat, author of her first 

cookbook, Girl in the Kitchen: How a Top Chef Cooks, Thinks, Shops, Eats, 

and Drinks.
