Chefs and business partners pose before getting down to work at this year's Bangkok Chef Charity Gala Dinner. Tonight -- August 4 -- some of the Kingdom’s top chefs will step out of their kitchens to donate their time and talent to cook up a storm for a good cause: the Bangkok Chef Charity Gala Dinner 2011 (http://www.bangkokpost.com/print/241138/) . At the annual event, held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok (http://www.mandarinoriental.com/bangkok/) , the executive chefs of participating five-star hotels pair-up to create a nine-course menu that is forecast to be an Epicurean’s delight. Post dinner, the services of the chefs go under the hammer; the city’s gastronomes bid for a gourmet meal for six people to be prepared by a selected pair. Proceeds from the dinner and the auction go to benefit underprivileged children in the remote areas of Thailand. Here, 20 of the participating executive chefs share some of their favorite culinary experiences.
