On Sunday, July 31, 2016 the Hayground School will host its 12th Annual Chefs Dinner honoring Toni Ross (Nick & Toni’s Restaurant, Founding Parent Hayground School) & Chef Claudia Fleming (North Fork Table & Inn). The dinner is to benefit the school and celebrate its 20th Anniversary. Hors d’oeuvres will begin at 5pm, with dinner to follow at 6pm, at Jeff’s Kitchen at the Hayground School (limited to just 200 dinner seats).

Hayground is a diverse, mixed aged school in Bridgehampton, founded in 1996 for children ages 3-14. Over 70% of the students receive financial aid. It was founded on the conviction that all children can and should live a life of the mind, that social and environmental responsibility are fundamental educational initiatives, that art be at the center rather than the periphery of life, and that food, the cultivation and preparation of it, is one of the best educational tools at our disposal. To this end each day the children prepare lunch for the whole school, they sow and harvest in the garden and greenhouses and use the kitchen as a gateway to many basic classroom concepts.

The evening’s Celebrated Chefs include: Josh Capon (Lure Fishbar, Bowery Meat Co.), Tom Colicchio (Crafted Hospitality), Elizabeth Falkner (Chef/ Author/ Artist), Alex Guarnaschelli (Butter), Abigail Hitchcock (Camaje Bistro), Marc Meyer (Cookshop, Hundred Acres, Rosie’s), Christian Mir (Stone Creek Inn), Joe Realmuto (Nick & Toni’s), Jason Weiner (Almond, L&W Oyster Co.) Sommelier Julie Berger (Nick & Toni’s) and Fromager Michael Cavaniola (Cavaniola’s Gourmet). A live auction featuring auctioneer Charles Antin of Lot1.Bid will follow dinner.
