AYS, a
full-service corporate hospitality and events company, is teaming up tennis and
food once again in three incredible events for the 16th Annual Taste of Tennis, the world’s
premier food & tennis experience.
Taste of Tennis kicks
into gear with The Celebrity Chef Tennis
Challenge hosted by Top Chef Masters Finalist Kerry Heffernan and SNY anchor Michelle Yuon on August 26th at the City View Racquet Club.
Professional chefs— Marc Murphy, Alfred Portale, Jonathan Waxman, among
others—will serve up extraordinary bites in a round-robin doubles tournament to
determine the King (or Queen) of the court. Guests will also enjoy sponsor
activities and a post-tournament cookout sponsored by Master Purveyors.
The Taste of Tennis Gala, the party that started it all, takes place on Thursday, August 27th at the W
New York. It celebrates the US Open with food offerings from 25 top chefs,
signature cocktails, sponsor experiences, live music and appearances by the
world’s greatest tennis players. This year’s gala will be hosted by a grand slam including tennis royalty The Bryan Brothers, celebrity chef Marc Murphy and The Bachelorette star Andi
Dorfman, while Venus Williams will
present a live cooking demo! A
portion of proceeds will benefit Chef
Eli Kulp, beloved chef of Philadelphia’s High Street Market who was in the
process of opening a new restaurant in New York City when he was critically
injured in the recent Amtrak train derailment.
The action continues Saturday,
August 29th at the Party
with the Pros. Party with some
of the top names in tennis like Victoria Azarenka, Sloane
Stephens and John Isner, while sampling incredible hors d’oeuvres prepared by Chef David Vandenabeele and signature
cocktails.
