American Heart Association Côtes du Coeur With Chris Clark And Richard Chamberlain
from Fun In Fundraising · host Rob Giardinelli
What are the keys to creating an unforgettable gala menu that has guests savoring every bite of every course? Today, I talk with legendary Dallas Chef Richard Chamberlain and Chris Clark, event chair for the 2026 Côtes du Coeur. Benefitting the American Heart Association, Côtes du Coeur is an incredible, two-night food and wine experience that doubles as the largest single-night fundraiser for the organization each year. This has been due to strong event chairs such as Chris, as well as having a longstanding relationship with a top chef, which allows the audience to know that every single year, the food and wine pairings will be five-star experiences. Richard and Chris provide valuable insights on a range of topics, including tips on creating a successful wine and experience auction, ensuring an elevated menu where the first plate is as fresh as the 500th plate, creating a multi-night experience where patrons are excited to attend both nights, and so much more. This is one episode you will definitely not want to miss.
