Some of San Diego's most high profile chefs will interpret the cuisines of India at Bombay Bazaar on Sunday, April 27, from 5 - 9 pm at SILO in Makers Quarter, all to benefit the efforts of Just Call Us Volunteers. Many of the same chefs devote their off time to working side by side with less skilled but willing workers to help Just Call Us Volunteers feed 8,000 meals to needy children, women and veterans throughout the year.
Tickets are available now for the event that will transform the trendy East Village venue into a sultry, spice-filled market featuring jewel-toned saris, colorful flowers, a hookah lounge and henna tattoo artists, Bollywood dancing and the succulent tastes of spicy curries, samosas, tandoori and vindaloo, interpreted by San Diego's most creative chefs including Hanis Cavin, Amy DiBiase, Isabel Cruz, Royal India’s Sam Kambo, Colin Murray, Adam Lowe, Karrie Hills, John Medall and many more. Snake Oil Cocktails will serve signature drinks featuring Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Rx Bitters, and Ballast Point and Urbn Street Brewing Company will offer local brews.
Sam the Cooking Guy and San Diego Magazine’s resident foodie Troy Johnson will manage the evening’s auction, which will feature priceless chef-based experiences including a weekend for two at Stargazer Farm in Portland; a party with the chefs of Bombay Bazaar; farm tours and chef’s dinners at Point Loma Farms and Konyn Dairy; a private chocolate making course by Chef Tina Luu; a party for 20 catered by Farm, Fish, Fork; custom brewery tours and much more. All ticket sales and auction proceeds benefit Just Call Us Volunteers.
