The 15th Annual Hamptons Happening: A Tour de Cuisine
The 15th Annual Hamptons Happening benefitting the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation took place at the residence of Maria and Kenneth Fishel in Bridgehampton. This year the theme honored luminaries in the world of cuisine, business, and fashion who are supporting the groundbreaking research of the SWCRF. Honorees included Chef Lidia Bastianich, Restaurateur (Owner of Southampton Social Club, Union Cantina, and Union Burger Bar) Ian Duke and Iconic Fashion Designer Nicole Miller.
More than 350 guests booked their “first class tickets” to the event’s Tour de Cuisine, enjoying food, wine, and spirit tastings representing some of their favorite culinary destinations from around the world. Guests enjoyed tastings from restaurant, food, and beverage purveyors including Backyard Brine, Bastianich, Becco, Calissa, City Chefs Catering, Five Senses Catering, Harmless Harvest, Candied Anchor, Maribelle, Owl’s Brew, Snackadabra, South Fork Bakery, and Super Coffee. A special addition to the evening were three limited edition Ferrari models on display courtesy of Ferrari North America and curated by Soojin Kim of Ferrari Long Island. America's Got Talent finalist, Caly Bevier, performed Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" and her single "Head Head High," the latter which the 19-year-old Bevier wrote during her treatment for ovarian cancer. Guests danced to Pat Farrell and the Cold Spring Harbor Band - a Billy Joel Tribute band and to the musical renditions of DJ Lisie.
