Get ready for a deliciously gluten-free cook-off!
On September 30, 2009, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) will celebrate its 6th Anniversary at the Wachovia Center with Appetite for Awareness, a great celebration of Philadelphia's commitment to gluten-free cuisine.
The event will feature chefs from more than 30 of Philadelphia’s best restaurants — including Xochitl, Osteria and Chifa — in a delicious display of the chefs' gluten-free cooking skills.
The event will feature music, wine, auctions, raffles and gluten-free food and beer.
The NFCA
The NFCA intends to sustain the involvement of the event's participating restaurants by working with them to develop an alternative gluten-free menu and have their kitchens certified by the NFCA’s gluten-free kitchen protocol training program (GREAT).
The event and sustained participation of Philadelphia’s most dynamic and cutting-edge chefs is intended to establish Philadelphia as the leading gluten-free and Celiac-friendly city in the U.S. and will serve as a template for other cities around the country.
