Originally formed in 1985 to celebrate James Beard's 82nd birthday, Monday night marked the 29th annual Chef's Tribute to Citymeals-on-Wheels. More than 40 of the country's top chefs kicked off the summer season at Rockefeller Center with a wide range of seafood-centric dishes.

ICE students help Chef Stephanie Izard of Chicago's Girl and the Goat serve hundreds of esteemed guests.

ICE was proud to have 37 student volunteers help staff the event—the only culinary school whose students had the chance to cook alongside such culinary leaders as Jean Georges Vongerichten, Michael Anthony, Michael Voltaggio, Francois Payard, Marc Forgione, Stephanie Izard and Jonathan Waxman.
