Southampton - Fabulous events - some for charity, some just for fun - and both that bring out all the fabulous attendees who are enjoying their summer in the Hamptons just keep rolling along, week after week - let's hope it never ends!

On Saturday evening, August 20, actress Julianne Moore, "Top Chef" judge and restaurateur Tom Colicchio, and Vanity Fair magazine hosted "What's On The Table?: An Event to Combat Hunger." The event raised over $100,000 to benefit the United Way of New York City's work to reduce hunger and provide more nutritious food for struggling children, families and seniors.

In addition to Colicchio and Moore, guests included supermodel and filmmaker Christy Turlington-Burns, Vanity Fair publisher Edward Menicheschi, director and producer Bart Freundlich, Fern Mallis, Duane Hampton, Louise Grunwald with her son Peter Melhado, Kelly and Jay Sugarman, Fiona Rudin, Gayfryd and Saul Steinberg, Susan and Nick Scopetta, Esther Newberg, Avis and Bruce Richards, Dayssi and Paul Olarte de Kanavos, Charmaine and Carter Burden, and Edward Tyler Nahem. United Way of New York City's Jennifer Jones Austin, Senior Vice-President for Community Investors and Kevin Taylor, Senior Vice President for Institutional Advancement were also in attendance.

Held at the Sagaponack home of United Way of New York City board member Susan Burden, "What's On The Table?" emphasized the need for the hungry in New York to not only have access to free food but food that is fresh and nutritious. To that end, Burden's lawn was turned into a piazza of offerings from Tom Colicchio's restaurants. Chefs from Colicchio and Sons, Craft, Riverpark and Craftsteak prepared gustatory delights using in-season local produce and sources. Among the delicacies guests enjoyed were stuffed zucchini blossoms, corn chowder with peeky toe crab, and scallops with smoked tomatoes.

All of the evening proceeds (100 percent) went to the United Way's campaign to significantly reduce hunger in New York City. A portion of the funds raised came from an exciting auction presided over by Christie's Lydia Fenet who sold a surprise item: a private lunch cooked by Colicchio and Moore at the bidder's home.
