Taste the Thrill at March 7 Restaurant Gala

Time is running out for your chance to “taste the thrill” of the best and most innovative dishes from 40 area restaurants at the region’s premier black-tie fundraising event. Tickets are on sale now for the 24th Annual Press of Atlantic City Restaurant Gala: Live and Let’s Dine, Wednesday, March 7, at the Atlantic City Convention Center.

The annual event, with a James Bond-inspired theme, also includes music, dancing and a dessert extravaganza. The Gala has raised more than $1.4 million since 1984 for student scholarships at the Academy of Culinary Arts at ACCC. The event, presented by Commerce Bank, raised a record-breaking $223,000 in 2006.

Beginning with a sumptuous cocktail, raw bar, hot and cold hors d’oeuvres reception prepared and served by ACA students at 6:30 p.m., the evening will progress to a dining extravaganza with 40 area restaurants at 8 p.m. Live music by the Melanie Rice Orchestra and an elegant dessert reception, headed by Master Pastry Chef Eugen Ess, will complete the night’s events. Tickets for the Restaurant Gala are $190 per person. Call (609) 343-5674 for tickets or visit www.atlantic.edu/gala.

New this year, Gala attendees can purchase keys giving them the chance to win one of 12 pieces of Tiffany & Co. jewelry ranging in value from $225-$2,500. Up to 250 keys will be sold for $100 each, and 12 keys will unlock a Tiffany jewelry case. Proceeds from the “Keys For A Cause” promotion benefit ACCC scholarships.

The ACCC Foundation will also bring back its 50/50 raffle, with a drawing to be held at the March 7 Gala. Tickets will cost $100, and five cash prizes will be awarded. Call (609) 343-5674 for raffle tickets or purchase them online at www.atlantic.edu/gala.
