The fourth annual Great Chefs Event is on for June 17, and tickets went on sale today. As in years past, the occasion is a benefit for Alex's Lemonade Stand, and will bring dozens of chefs under one roof. Osteria is co-sponsoring the affair, and the participating chefs are a balanced crowd of Philly and international chefs. At $250 a pop, this isn't something to do everyday, but hey — the list of participating chefs is really strong, and the cause is a good one.
