Offering a Fabulous Feast in Support of Special Kids, Top Chefs Alight at the Four Seasons

ONE OF THE foodie world’s favorite events also happens to be a fundraiser for a very good cause! The 4th annual Celebrity Chefs Against Cancer event, which took place recently at Four Seasons Hotel Houston, gathered the city’s most popular chefs for a food-frenzy extravaganza with a lot of heart.

The expo-style event, at which lucky guests are invited to circulate around the hotel ballroom tippling and tasting at live-action stations manned by some of the most prominent and celebrated cooks in Houston, raised cash to support Camp H-Town. The long list of notable restaurants involved included Guard & Grace, Loro, Marmo, Muse, Roma, Traveler’s Table, Uchi, Uchiko, Hugo Ortega’s Xochi and Brennan’s of Houston, which served up crawfish enchiladas and their traditional turtle soup.

“As always, we’re excited to welcome the community and Houston’s top chefs for Celebrity Chefs Against Cancer,” said Tom Segesta, general manager of the luxury hotel, and long a passionate advocate for Camp H-Town’s to create summertime joy for kids touched by cancer. “This event has become one of the year’s most important, impactful, and fun philanthropic events, and we look to set a new fundraising record for these incredible and courageous kids.”

Segesta’s pretty wife Robin is also a Camp H-Town champion, and she gave moving remarks about the camp, just before a live auction with many enviable items. Trips to other Four Seasons properties and other divine destinations were highly sought-after. Bora Bora, anyone? Florence?

During the summer, the Four Seasons Hotel Houston converts an entire floor into a “campground” with bunk beds and camping gear, in which the campers will stay four nights under the supervision of medical staff from MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital and volunteers. Excursions for campers may include visits to Minute Maid to meet the Astros, and power-yachting in Galveston Bay.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
