Chef Geoffrey Zakarian and his wife, Margaret, were recently honored by the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, 39 Scofieldtown Road in Stamford. The annual “An Evening With” fundraiser was held in the Knobloch Family Farmhouse. More than 120 guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d”™oeuvres on the Overlook Terrace with the Zakarians, followed by a four-course dinner prepared by Chef Robin Selden of Marcia Selden Catering with wine pairings provided by Glenville Wine & Spirits, and a spirited evening program led by Master of Ceremonies Leigh Diffey.

Internationally regarded as a chef, restaurateur and leading Food Network personality, Emmy-nominated “Iron Chef” Zakarian is a judge on “Chopped,” co-host of “The Kitchen,” and host of the brand-new primetime show, “Big Restaurant Bet.”

The event was co-chaired by Lynn Villency Cohen and Carol Fedele.
