Got $2500 and an irresistible urge to namedrop? Then Charlie Trotter has the celebratory dinner for you. On August 19, just a couple of weeks before he plans to close, Trotter will host probably the two hottest foodie names you didn’t know six months ago, Sean Brock of Husk in Charleston and Modernist Cuisine author Nathan Myhrvold, plus Australian chef Tetsuya Wakuda. It’s $2,500 per person, with the proceeds to go to Myhrvold’s charity, and Trotter says there will be other name chefs helping out and hobnobbing with the hot names celebrated in large, slipcased volumes. That’s 773-238-6228 for reservations, folks. [Eater]
