You are invited to the Fifth Annual Wholesome Wave Celebrity Chef Dinner (and an opportunity to be a Sous Chef for one of the chefs!)
Join five celebrity chefs preparing five delicious, gourmet courses paired with world-class wines for only 50 guests. Unlike any other celebrity chef dinner, this is an intimate, invitation-only gathering to thank our current and new supporters, while celebrating the impact we have collectively made in the last year.
A wine, champagne, and appetizer reception will be held immediately before dinner.
This year, for the first time, there are three of our pre-dinner “Sous Chef Experiences” available for purchase on a first-come basis. This extraordinary experience pairs people with our five celebrity chefs, where they will work side-by-side helping their chef prepare the evening’s dinner, then enjoy the food they just helped prepare in a family-style meal with the chefs.
Special surprise guest appearances by additional celebrity chefs have previously included Jacques Pepin, Marcus Samuelsson, Jacques Torres, JJ Johnson, Mary Sue Milliken, Renee Touponce, and others.
Ticket sales and at-event donations help fund our mission to ensure wholesome food is available and affordable for every person in America - thank you!
