On Wednesday, Sept. 24, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness will celebrate its 5th anniversary at The Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. The event will further the NFCA’s mission in raising awareness and funding for celiac disease by featuring chefs from 35 of Philadelphia’s highly acclaimed restaurants who will demonstrate their gluten-free cooking capabilities and compete for gluten-free dish of the year in an Iron Chef-like competition.


The event also will feature music, wine, gluten-free beer, an auction, raffle, and an all around great time. All of this is thanks to the generous donation of the Wachovia Center by Ed Snider, who is a member of the NFCA Board of Directors.

In conjunction with the 5th anniversary celebration, NFCA intends to sustain the involvement of the 35 restaurants by working with each to develop an alternative gluten-free menu and have their kitchens certified by NFCA’s gluten-free kitchen protocol training program (GREAT), thereby establishing a Philadelphia Gluten-Free Neighborhood.

Confirmed restaurants as of August 6, 2008 include:

Amada Capital Grille Pearl Pasta Pomodoro La Fontana Della Citta
Cochon Little Fish Tinto Talula's Table Distrito
Rouge Osteria Vetri The Palm SOLA
Memphis Taproom Bourbon Blue The Reef Seasons Culinary Horizons Cafe Estelle
Cadillac Grill Bar Ferdinand General Warren Inne Whisk & Spoon Vintage Wine Bar & Bistro
Sovalo Bindi Lolita Rae Gayle
Melograno Devil's Den Leslie Rosen Catering Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop Culinary Concepts
Legal Sea Foods The Ugly American La Campagne

 

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 United States and will serve as a template to be replicated in other cities around the country.
