I have to say this is my most favorite event of the summer, could be the year.... Chefs in Shorts took place this past Friday night at the Seaport Hotel and offered some of the tastiest samples the summer barbequing season has to offer. City chefs maintained the grills offering up specialties such as Eric Swartz’s (Davio's) Grilled scallops with tomato and Vidalia onion jam on bruschetta, Dante de Magistri’s (dante & il Casale) Grilled pizza margarita and Katherine See’s (Kingfish Hall) BBQ shrimp and avocado salad all to benefit the Greater Boston Food Bank. There were individual clambakes in tin foil bags; an array of scallops served 8 different ways and mini ice cream cones for dessert. The Guys from Island Creek Oysters were there shucking and shooting and the $60 ticket price included beer and wine. The setting; an urban BBQ atop Seaport Boulevard overlooking the city’s skyline. If you have not yet attended I highly recommend you mark your calendars for June 2010!
