‘Chopped’ judges to cook at fundraiser

Join Ted March 8 for Savor, the annual culinary fundraiser for Gay Men’s Health Crisis. As chair and host of the event, Ted has recruited the “Chopped” judges to plan the dinner menu and to take a turn in the pressure cooker—each will have a short  time to contribute to a dish before passing the whisk to the next chef in the ultimate  cooking relay. The evening starts with a cocktail reception and silent auction before dinner and the relay. More than 400 guests are expected to attend this high-profile event in honor of GMHC supporters Yvette Burton and Ted Snowdon for their ongoing commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS.
