Great Chefs Event going great guns

Paul Kahan. Tom Colicchio. Masaharu Morimoto. Marc Vetri has amassed an impressive list of culinary firepower for this year's fundraiser.

It's hard to say no to Marc Vetri, which explains why he's amassed an impressive list of culinary firepower for this year's Great Chefs Event fundraiser, which will be June 12 at Urban Outfitters HQ. It benefits Alex's Lemonade Stand and the Vetri Foundation for Children.
