Out of the Kitchen

 The St. Regis Atlanta is hosting the second annual Out of the Kitchen dining event, taking place at the iconic property on Thursday, November 15. Featuring 20 prominent regional Chefs, the event’s proceeds will benefit CURE Childhood Cancer, a local nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research and providing meaningful support to children and families facing a cancer diagnosis. Steak Shapiro, CEO and founder of Bread N Butter productions and host of Atlanta Eats, will serve as the master of ceremonies for the unconventional, high energy dining event.

“After last year’s incredible outcome, we are elated to be included in one of Atlanta’s most impressive and charitable culinary events,” said Shapiro. “Having some of the region’s most talented chefs in one room, combined with making a significant contribution to an incredible cause with CURE, makes the event truly one-of-a-kind.”

Teaming up with culinary co-chairs Chef Jordan Barnett of The St. Regis Atlanta and Chef Philippe Haddad of Cape Dutch, The St. Regis Atlanta will donate 100 percent of the event proceeds to CURE Childhood Cancer. Last year, the inaugural event raised a notable $226,000 for the cause. 

“Out of the Kitchen is an exciting, experiential way to raise much needed funds for childhood cancer research,” said CURE’s Executive Director Kristin Connor. “We are proud to partner with The St. Regis Atlanta for a second year, and thrilled for the support and awareness that Out of The Kitchen brings to help in our mission to fund targeted research and support families.”

The gastronomic event will host 240 guests in an intimate setting, as 20 carefully-selected top chefs create a personalized and unforgettable three-course meal tableside for 12 guests. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the specialized cuisine, as well as interact personally with the tastemakers while enjoying live entertainment. Additionally, guests can mix and mingle with some of Atlanta’s most influential thought leaders and businesspeople as fellow attendees. The evening commences with a champagne reception and an elaborate dessert reception presented by Pastry Chef Daniela Lea of The St. Regis Atlanta.

All chefs are contributing their time and talent to the fundraising event. Returning chefs from 2017 include: Philippe Haddad (Cape Dutch), Fuyuhiko Ito (Umi), Pano Karatassos (Kyma), Chris Grossman (Atlas at The St. Regis Atlanta), Cyrille Holota (Le Bilboquet), Deedee Niyomkul (Chaiyo), Piero Premoli (Pricci), Jaime Adams (Il Giallo Osteria & Bar) and Joe Schafer (Atlanta Hawks). Bringing a fresh twist on the event, new participating chefs include: Reinaldo Santosa (The St. Regis Atlanta), Gerry Klaskala (Aria), Frederic Morineau (The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman), Xavier Salomon (Montage Cabo), Julio Acosta (Oyamel), Hugh Acheson (Empire State South), Gerry Garvin (Food Network), Peter Kaiser (Kaiser’s Chophouse), Ai Nakamura (Sear at The Marriot Marquis, Atlanta), and Jiyeon Lee (Heirloom Market BBQ).

“The St. Regis, as a brand, proactively seeks innovative ways to push the boundaries of the industry, and is dedicated to supporting organizations that make a valuable difference. The Out of the Kitchen event brings this visionary approach to life, with a commitment to raising monetary proceeds and bring awareness for curing childhood cancer,” said Julia McKelvey, The St. Regis Atlanta’s director of catering and event management. “We very much value the relationship we have built with CURE over the years and are incredibly proud to be working with them for Out of the Kitchen.”
