Colonial Williamsburg is scheduled to hold its first Celebrity Golf Invitational and Culinary Weekend April 1-4, reported The Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The event is co-sponsored by Bon Appetit magazine and the James Beard Foundation. It will feature 40 chefs from around the country; they will cook meals costing as much as $300 per person.
A portion of the proceeds will count as charitable donation toward the James Beard Foundation. Beard was a chef and cookbook writer who has been called the "father of American Gastronomy."
It will cost $5,380 for a couple to eat all three dinners and stay at the Williamsburg Inn for all three nights.
Every year the foundation presents awards to the country's best chefs. The chefs are then asked to cook at the James Beard house in New York City.
