Art. Food. Hope

A dozen meals with American chefs and artists to feed our community. A benefit for D.C. Central Kitchen, Martha's Table and Freshfarm Markets.

On the eve of Barack Obama's inauguration, renowned American chefs unite to cook simple, delicious meals in beautiful homes. In the spirit of service and community, chefs are volunteering their time and hosts are opening their homes to support both the sustainable farmers and the charity organizations that have fed the community of Washington D.C. for over twenty years. With an understanding of the connection between art, food and quality of life, noted cultural figures will foster a new type of conversation at the dinner tables. Many of Barack Obama's biggest supporters and advisors will be guests at our tables.
