On June 20, the first EAT (RED) FOOD & FILM FEST in New York’s Bryant Park will give food fans the opportunity to savor the ultimate New York picnic dinner designed by Mario Batali, Ina Garten, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Danny Bowien of Mission Chinese, and The Beatrice Inn’s Angie Mar.
Enjoy an outdoor screening of Sleepless in Seattle, (BELVEDERE)RED summer cocktails, Birra Moretti beer and wine by Josh Cellars. A limited number of tickets are available at ticketmaster.com/eatRED, for $100, with 100% of the ticket price going toward fighting AIDS with (RED). Thanks to dollar matching by Bank of America and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every ticket purchased will result in $600 to fight AIDS.
Chef Mario Batali is serving as official ambassador, and the goal of EAT (RED) is to bring the food world to the table to help eliminate AIDS. Of the event, Batali said, “It’s a beautiful thing when food not only brings people together, but does so in a way that means real impact on the AIDS fight. Thanks to the enthusiastic support of so many of my heroes in the culinary industry we’re taking the campaign all across the country. So whether you’re eating, drinking or Tweeting, your choices really do count this June.”
