About

One Night. One Purpose. Join Us for LA’s Premier Culinary Evening for a Cause

For one night only, two of the city’s most celebrated culinary events, LA’s Taste of the Nation and the No Kid Hungry Dinner, are joining forces to create a new, unforgettable experience: LA’s Night Out for No Kid Hungry. Chaired by renowned culinary leaders Brooke Williamson, Mei Lin, and Melissa King, this premier event promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

Experience the best of California’s dynamic culinary scene in one unforgettable evening. Choose between The Dinner, an intimate, multi-course dining experience emceed by Emmy®-nominated actor, comedian, and producer Anthony Anderson, or The Tasting, a lively sampling event.

The night will conclude for all guests at The After Party hosted by chefs Duff Goldman and Michael Voltaggio. All guests are invited to join us for an evening of sweet treats from the city’s top pastry chefs and a special live performance by Golden Globe® Award-winning, and Academy Award®-nominated singer, songwriter, actress Andra Day.

Taste, Sip, and Make a Difference

This is more than just a culinary event; it’s a chance to make a tangible impact. Every kid deserves three meals a day to grow up healthy and strong, but for too many children in America, hunger is a daily reality. The funds raised at this event will directly support the No Kid Hungry campaign and their work to end childhood hunger in our nation.

Join us for a delicious night out that will help ensure every child in America gets the food they need to thrive.
