Guy Fieri, Celebrity Chefs Serve Up Gratitude For First Responders in Healdsburg

HEALDSBURG, CA — Celebrity chef Guy Fieri will be hosting a Chefs for Heroes fundraiser at the Rodney Strong Vineyards in Healdsburg.

Two dozen celebrity chefs will join Fieri on Oct. 11 to create signature dishes in support of first responders, veterans, and military personnel.

Flanking Fieri will be chefs with James Beard, Food Network, and Top Chef credentials, including Adam Sobel, Mei Lin, Joe Sasto, and Guerneville's Road Trip Kitchen founder Crista Luedtke.

Before becoming a celebrity chef, Fieri opened several restaurants in Santa Rosa, Windsor, Petaluma, and Roseville.

The California Fire Benevolent Foundation and Graton Casino are among the local sponsors of the fundraiser benefitting the Petaluma-based Guy Fieri Foundation.

That money goes to the twin initiatives, Disaster Relief Trailer and Honoring Our Heroes, according to the foundation.

The event from 5-10 p.m. includes a dinner created by the celebrity chefs, a concert, and auctions (including a silent one) featuring items for culinary adventurers as well as industry insiders.

VIP tickets include a behind-the-scenes, hands-on experience behind the cutting boards.

The silent auction will be available online two weeks before the event and in person at the event.

A live auction will be held during the event.

All bidders and guests should pre-register.

Tickets are available at the Guy Fieri Foundation website.
