After a tragic accident left Stacy Friscia — mother of two teenage sons and wife of executive chef Antonio Friscia — with life-threatening, third- degree burns on nearly half her body, the Friscia family has been right by her side during her recovery from a medically induced coma and multiple surgeries at UCSD’s Burn Center. In support of one of their own, top chefs from some of San Diego’s best restaurants — including two from the Mission Bay and Pacific Beach area — will pitch in for “An Evening of Aloha” at Stingaree on Sept. 16 from 4 to 8 p.m. The benefit dinner and auction, hosted by James Brennan and Brian Ma-larkey of Enlightened Hospitality Group, will feature scrumptious dishes created with love by more than 20 of San Diego’s top chefs, including TK Kolanko and Paul Arias from The Fishery and Donald Coffman from Paradise Point. A minimum $20 donation is suggested at the door. All proceeds from the event will benefit the UCSD Burn Center to provide training, purchase specialized equipment, fund research to discover new therapies, educate the community and provide comfort for patients at the center. Stingaree is located downtown at 454 Sixth Ave. For more information, call (619) 544-1847.
