I am proposing an article to the AARP magazine titled “The Rise of ‘Culinary Philanthropy’-- Chefs Who Give Their Talent and Resources to Charitable Causes.”
I am looking for high profile chefs who donate their time and resources to charitable
I would like these chefs to e-mail answers to these questions for starters.
Tell me about yourself --
Why and when did you decide to become a chef?
Tell me about the places you have worked to get to the status you now hold -- the more details, the better.
Do own restaurants?
If so, what are they and where?
Are they specialty restaurants?
Do you specialize?
Please tell me about charities you donate your time and resources to?
What do you do for them?
Do you attract patrons for “dine and donate” occasions?
Did you start your own foundation?
If so, why have you done that?
Why did you select these particular needs?
How much money have you raised?
How did all of this occur?
Do you think food can make a social change?
If so, how and why?
Other thoughts.

Finally, please provide:
1) your role/title, a link to your LinkedIn profile, company website, and company descriptor
2) a good email address AND phone number to follow up if needed (MUST be the source’s contact information)
IMPORTANT: We can’t accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you’ve already submitted elsewhere. Also, I’m not looking for surface-level information easily found online.
