The outreach program is presented by Chicago Chefs Cook, a local non-profit bringing local culinary leaders together to support humanitarian causes.
Fires Wreak Havoc in Los Angeles

Since the beginning of January, multiple wildfires have devastated Los Angeles, fueled by dry weather and harsh winds.
The Los Angeles wildfires have burned through more than 30,000 acres of land, damaging thousands of residences and businesses in the process.
As of Monday morning, officials expect the fire outbreak to continue and even worsen as strong winds persist.
Chicago Chefs Unite For Relief

With a long recovery process ahead, the Chicago culinary community is banding together to support LA restaurant workers in the midst of the crisis.
By simply dining at a favorite local spot, Chicagoans can support the livelihoods of culinary professionals across Los Angeles. Donations will go towards rebuilding and revitalizing the hospitality sector.
Participating restaurants include some familiar names like BOKA, Lula Cafe, Gene & Georgetti, and many more.
