Food for Thought Gala Event

As Penn Appétit works to keep you updated on all foodie events, we wanted to tell you about ACHIEVEability’s annual Food for Thought Gala that is taking place this Saturday! It should be a delicious night filled with yummy food from fantastic chefs, all in support of a great cause.

ACHIEVEability is a West Philadelphia non-profit that works to permanently break the cycle of poverty for low-income, single parent, and homeless families. ACHIEVEability provides housing and services so that parents can pursue higher education and work towards self-sufficiency.


The Food for Thought Gala will feature food prepared by top chefs from the Greater Philadelphia area, including Marc Vetri (Vetri), Kevin Sbraga (Sbraga, Top Chef Season 7), Jeff Michaud (Osteria), Peter Woolsey (Bistrot La Minette), Jonathan Adams (Pub & Kitchen) and Marcie Turney (Barbuzzo).

Not only will there be wonderful food, but Food for Thought is also featuring an amazing selection of raffle prizes. I would personally bid on the In-House Dinner Party hosted by Kevin Sbraga, or maybe even the Adventure Week in Belize.

The food, the raffle prizes, and emcee Beasley Reece (sports anchor for CBS-3 and ex-NFL player) – it’s going to be an amazing event!

For more information about ACHIEVEability and Food for Thought, as well as interviews with Peter Woolsey and Jonathan Adams check back tomorrow!
