This extravagant affair, which last year raised $300,000, benefits two Orange County charities: Vocational Visions, which provides programs, services and personalized support to develop the talents of adults with disabilities, and The Teen Project, which gives teens aging out of the foster care system the resources and support of an intact family in order to allow them to successfully transition to adulthood.

Table for Ten features more than 30 of OC’s best chefs, each cooking table-side for tables of ten guests. At each table, chefs and their team create unique table designs, and then prepare an extravagant multi-course dinner (with paired wines) under the watchful eyes of their dining guests.

Newport Beach chefs participating in Table for Ten include: (Top row) Pascal Gimenez, Oscar Fonseca, Andy Arndt; (bottom row) Rachel Haggstrom, Pascal Olhats, Tony Trujillo.
