"I've long known that Ms. Taylor loved dining at The Cellar so I called our former Maitre D' and she gave me a rundown on a list of her favorite menu items," said proprietor Ryan Dudley. "I hope to honor her memory by benefiting a cause that was close to her heart."

Founded in 1985 and brought into national prominence, in part by Taylor, AmFAR's mission is to prevent HIV infection and to protect the human rights of all people threatened by the epidemic of HIV/AIDS.
