The Wholesome Wave 4th Annual Celebrity Chef Dinner is not a “gala” - it is an extraordinarily intimate event for 55 lucky guests.

Six world-class chefs prepare six delicious courses paired with world-class wines from Moet Hennessey. It is an evening unlike any other celebrity chef dinner.

This annual event helps fund our mission to make fresh fruits and vegetables available and affordable for every person in America. Through advocacy, research and chef-led mobilization we continue our innovative history of leading the Food Is Medicine movement and food systems improvement through produce prescriptions, nutrition incentives and other programs.

“I enjoyed watching all the chefs prep and plate their amazing dishes.”

“Who would have ever thought I'd be comparing mashed potato recipes with Rocco Dispirito.”

“I got to learn about Mary Sue Milliken's devil's food cake while having a glass of wine with her.”

“Best meal I’ve had in a year full of delicious food.”

“It was an exceptional experience!”
