The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation set a record by raising more than $110,000 from 400 attendees at Chef Fest, which was held on February 1 at the Drury Lane Theatre & Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace.

The event included a variety of signature menu items produced by 26 chefs from prominent local restaurants, bakeries and caterers who donated their time and talent.

Proceeds from Chef Fest support future service enhancements to ensure Elmhurst Hospital maintains its commitment to delivering state-of-the-art healthcare to the community.

Chef Fest featured 26 area restaurants, including Roka Akor in Oakbrook.
