ChefsLine’s goal is to help each of our members feel more confident and secure in their kitchens and to become more accomplished, better home cooks. From the cost savings to the health benefits and the lasting value of time spent with family - home cooking has its rewards.

On Monday, June 2, 2008 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, ChefsLine Chef Nate Auchter will be preparing dishes for Philadelphi’a Taste of The Nation event. More than 25 of Philadelphia’s finest restaurants will join together for a one-night-only, culinary extravaganza! Enjoy delightful food and cocktail tastings, browse exceptional auction items, and mingle with the area’s hottest chefs, including award winning guest Chef RJ Cooper from Washington DC’s Vidalia.

For most Americans, 15% of our income goes to food and drink and making the most of those dollars today is more of a challenge than ever before. Nearly every food staple has seen a double-digit percentage increase over the past year, including a 38% hike for a dozen eggs, to $2.16, and a 19% jump, to $1.78, for a loaf of white bread. At ChefsLine, conversations between our chefs and members have veered pretty drastically in the direction of menu planning on a budget, how to stretch food dollars, and how to cook in less time.

Unfortunately, children are the Americans most heavily impacted by our nation’s economic insecurity. By the end of the year, more than 12 million children in America will worry about when their next meal will come.

A Solution: Taste of the Nation

Taste of the Nation is an incredible program that harnesses the energy and commitment of our country’s chefs to directly help improve the lives of children. At a Taste of the Nation event, 100% of your ticket purchase (usually around $75) goes to a high-impact anti-hunger organization that is working to end childhood hunger in America. Another of your rewards as a participant is an evening of food and fun spent with neighbors and your community’s best chefs. ChefsLine consultant Nate Auchter is just one of the over 2,000 chefs who have contributed an incredible amount of time and energy as volunteer hosts and fundraisers for Taste of the Nation events in more than 55 cities over the past 20 years. If you have not yet participated in a Taste of the Nation event yet, this is the year to do so.
