The chef and mixologist list was just released, here are some big deal cookers of note: Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco (Phoenix), April Bloomfield of The Spotted Pig (NYC), Michael Cimarusti of Providence, Giada De Laurentiis, Paul Kahan of Avec and Blackbird (Chicago), Donald Link of Cochon (New Orleans), Michael Schwartz of Michael's Genuine Food & Drink (Miami), Nancy Silverton of Mozza, Michael Tusk of Quince (SF), Marc Vetri of Amis and Vetri (Philly), and Jonathan Waxman of Barbuto (NYC).

Of course there will be more than enough vino to go around, in addition to cocktails by Eric Alperin of the Varnish, Neal Bodenheimer of Cure (New Orleans), Greg Lindgren of Rye on the Road (SF), Chris Ojeda of Soho House WeHo, Christian Rollich of Lucques, and Tim Staehling of The Hungry Cat.
