To help with his medical bills, Kulp's co-owner at Fork, Ellen Yin, is rallying her fellow chefs and restaurateurs for a fundraiser to benefit Kulp and his family. While tickets are a bit pricey, guests will have access to food and beverages from some of the city's best restaurants, and, of course, proceeds go towards a worthy cause.
