THE EVENT: D.C.'s most critically acclaimed chefs came together for the ninth year to raise funds for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital

THE SCENE: Guests sampled "tastings" from more than 50 of the city's best restaurants and bid on items during live and silent auctions ($18,000 alone was raised when the culinary services of chefs Michel Richard, Jeff Tunks and Robert Weidmaier went on the block). Former St. Jude patient David Scanlan III, now a doctor, was honored with the Chris Burress Hero award.

THE GUESTS: St. Jude CEO John Moses; ABC News' Sam Donaldson; the evening's emcees: Doreen Gentzler of NBC4 and Loo Katz of WASH-FM; Helen Thomas; Ted and Lynn Leonsis and Tom Liljenquist.
