Expressions VI. A Celebration of Food and Art.

This sixth annual event will be held at the five-star The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary, NC to raise funds for Lucy Daniels Center, the Triangle's largest provider of children's mental health services.

The gala evening will feature Chef Steven Devereaux Greene of The Umstead and his "dream team" of chefs: Umstead pastry chef Jonathan Fisher, Chef Mike Lata (FIG and The Ordinary, Charleston) and Chef Curtis Duffy of Grace, the top Chicago restaurant that was subject of a recent documentary, For Grace.

Together these culinary masterminds will create a menu of food and wine pairings that is based upon the works of Master Potter Ben Owen III of Seagrove, NC, whose art graces museums, galleries and private homes across the world.

There will be a live auction of one-of-a-kind dining packages from Triangle chefs, along with the opportunity to bid on travel packages to Wilmington, Asheville and Charleston.

Chef Greene was a recent semifinalist for Southeast Chef of the Year from the James Beard Foundation, while Chef Lata was the winner of that title in 2009. Curtis Duffy, also a James Beard Award winner, is taking part in Expressions for the second time in his career.
