This February, 40 of New York’s premier chefs gathered on Manhattan’s gorgeous westside waterfront to throw a grand tasting. The occasion? The 30th anniversary of C-CAP (Careers Through Culinary Arts Programs), an organization that provides students in underserved areas with the education, enrichment programs, and encouragement they need to pursue their dreams of a culinary career. What better reason to indulge in the finest food the city has to offer?
Of course, fine food deserves fine lighting. We’re proud to say that over each chef station, Ketra lighting was installed to give the chefs and their guests a delicious visual experience. Ingredients popped with vibrant color. Every chop, slice, and flambé was illuminated with artful precision. Onlookers were treated to a dazzling display of excellence and elegance as the city’s most accomplished culinary artists—some of them C-CAP alumni themselves—brought their exquisite visions to life.
The partner behind the immaculate lighting was Lutron, who enlisted Ketra to furnish these high profile chefs and restaurant professionals with lighting fit for their extraordinary talents. Each chef received a personalized Lutron Pico controller in eye catching fire engine red, and wielded the control - and their creativity - to showcase their culinary creations in the best light.
