"Christopher James, the State Department's deputy chef, helps plate the offerings at the Chefs Ball on Saturday, Jan. 19. The Chefs Ball was hosted by Art Smith, who decried the offerings of most balls, saying, ""usually, there's just bad food or no food at all. Here, we want the food to be the focus and inspiration."" Proceeds from the night went to charities."
