About the event
Four-course benefit format
The dinner is built around a four-course, family-style menu, with all proceeds donated to PA FIRE. That makes the format clear: this is a fundraising dinner rather than a standard à la carte restaurant service. The available details identify the course count, the shared-service style, and the beneficiary, but they do not name individual dishes, beverages, pairings, or add-on programming.
The event name frames the evening as a benefit dinner, and the supporting description specifies that the proceeds go to PA FIRE. For planning purposes, the most useful verified detail is the combination of a structured four-course meal and a fundraising purpose tied directly to that named organization.
Menu by Andrew Wood
Andrew Wood is the named person behind the menu. He is identified as chef and executive chef at Le Virtù, connecting the menu to the restaurant hosting the dinner. No further collaborator list, guest-chef lineup, or named producer information is provided, so the supported subject detail is limited to Wood’s role and the four-course family-style format.
Because the menu is described by course structure rather than by dish names, the clearest way to understand the food component is as a chef-led, family-style dinner. The record supports Andrew Wood’s authorship of the menu, the number of courses, and the benefit structure; it does not support claims about specific ingredients, cuisine details, wine pairings, or dietary accommodations.
Restaurant location in Philadelphia
The dinner takes place at Le Virtù, a restaurant in Philadelphia. The venue address is 1927 Passyunk Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148. The event is also associated with Le Virtù in the venue information, so the location detail is supported at both the venue and city level without adding neighborhood, transit, parking, seating, or accessibility claims.
The schedule places the dinner on a single listed evening, with start and end times handled by the event details. The practical takeaway is that the named restaurant, city, address, dinner format, menu author, and beneficiary are all identified; other planning specifics should not be assumed from the available description.
