Eli Kulp joins a chefs' benefit for spinal-cord research at Karamoor

High Street chef/partner Eli Kulp, who suffered spinal injuries two years ago in an Amtrak train crash, attended the event.

A star-studded lineup of chefs helped to create a dinner Saturday, June 24 at Karamoor Estate Vineyard & Winery in Fort Washington to benefit the Institute for Functional Restoration at Case Western Reserve University, which is at the forefront of work with spinal-cord injuries.

High Street chef/partner Eli Kulp, who suffered spinal injuries two years ago in an Amtrak train crash, attended the event with a New York neighbor, Charles Buschmann. The men met at Mount Sinai Hospital, where both were treated. Kulp has made considerable progress in his recovery but cannot move his hands; he is encouraged with the research conducted at Case Western.

The chef roster included Nicholas Elmi, Michael Solomonov, Greg Vernick, John Patterson, Jon Nodler, Eli Collins, Sam Kincaid, and Chris Curtin of Éclat Chocolate.
