The British American Business Council Orange County will launch BritWeek 2013 with a tasty event titled ‘Fifty Shades of Food, Glorious Food’, bringing together six top chefs from Orange County’s hottest restaurants to create a food extravaganza. Hosted at the Hilton Hotel Anaheim on Friday April 26, the event promises ‘unique dishes, offering a feast for all the senses will be prepared and personally presented by Orange County’s premier chefs to honored guests and Orange County’s consummate ‘foodies’.’
The ambitious culinary charity gala will be hosted by the British American Business Council, Orange County(BABC OC) and will benefit the council’s scholarship fund, that sends two Orange County students on a two-week, all expenses paid trip to the ACS International School British Studies Summer Program, and also Pure Game – a non-profit charity that mentors under privileged Orange County youth through the power of positive words and encouragement on the soccer field.
Presenting scholarships to two lucky Orange County high school students will be Warren Barton, a television studio analyst for FOX Soccer and former Wimbledon, Newcastle and England defender.
