Benefit Dinner for Wholesome Wave at Empire State South
Sunday, January 22nd
In the ongoing effort to make local food more available to everyone, we are big advocates of Wholesome Wave. The coupon program fosters strong linkages between local agriculture and under-served communities in Georgia they do so by doubling the value of food stamps at farmer’s markets. You may remember that Wholesome Wave national is the charity that Hugh played for on Top Chef: Masters.
To help meet the challenge making fresh, local food available to the whole community, ESS will be hosting a Wholesome Wave benefit dinner on January 22nd at 6pm. Our sous chefs have really taken the lead, each team member putting together a dish as Hugh and Ryan have stepped aside to let the rest of the team showcase their talents. Naturally, Steven and Kellie will be offering alcohol pairings.
The price of the dinner is $200, which includes tax and gratuity, and is tax deductable. We know that might sound a little pricey, which is why we’ve committed to donating 75% of the proceeds to Wholesome Wave Georgia. Not up to that amount—actually 75%. Please help us help our fellow Georgians get good food on the table.
