Food Glorious Food VI is chaired by Kerry L. R. Bedard and Sharon Leiser, and the 2011 Calendar is dedicated to the recently departed Liesel Flashenberg, founder of Through the Kitchen Door and a long-time Food Glorious Food chef.

Cooked up by ZCAF in 2005, Food Glorious Food's menu of food, art and charity is a recipe for success that has raised more than $115,000 for the food bank in five years, while pleasing the palates of art patrons and foodies through a unique collaboration between artists and restaurants. Area businesses add spice to the mix by sponsoring the calendar and donating items for the auction. The overall project raises money through calendar sales, a percentage of proceeds from a related month-long food art exhibition and the Calendar Launch & Silent Auction.

Artists: Bert Beirne, Jay Burch, Stephen Hansen, Philip Hazard, Frank Holmes, Robert C. Jackson, Peter Kephart, Shelley Laffal, Chris Malone, Joey Manlapaz, Anne Marchand, Bill Mead, Jane Pettit, Sofia Gawer-Fische, James Tormey and Joyce Zipperer
