Wholesome Wave Hosts 3rd Annual Celebrity Chef Dinner
On October 16th, 2024, Wholesome Wave hosted its 3rd Annual Celebrity Chef Dinner at Platform by JBF in New York City—a celebration of culinary excellence, community, and a shared mission to bring fresh, nutritious food to those in need. The event brought together esteemed chefs, generous sponsors, and supporters from all over to enjoy a remarkable five-course dining experience, all in support of Wholesome Wave’s mission to create a healthier future for everyone.
Five renowned chefs—Rocco DiSpirito, JJ Johnson, Mary Sue Milliken, Michel Nischan, and Renée Touponce—crafted unique courses that showcased their talents and passion for food, with expertly paired wines and signature cocktails curated by sommelier Steve Olson. The open kitchen layout allowed guests to engage with the chefs and learn more about the stories behind each dish, making the experience both immersive and memorable.
Guests also participated in a silent auction featuring exclusive experiences and unique items, which brought in essential funds to support Wholesome Wave’s impactful programs. From curated culinary experiences to one-of-a-kind items, the auction highlighted the community’s shared commitment to providing equitable access to fresh food.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors for making this event possible. Your contributions continue to drive Wholesome Wave’s mission and help us bring transformational change to communities across the country.
