Join Fort Worth's award-winning Chef Kevin Martinez of Tokyo Cafe, Yatai Food Cart, and Heirloom Garden Cafe as he prepares a multi-course menu as part of Taste Project's Celebrity Chef Dinner and Fundraiser event series!

Taste Project has seen a huge increase in the number of people in need of the services we provide, and summer is our busiest time of year. This fundraising event will help ensure everybody eats during our pay-what-you-can meal service this summer season.

The Celebrity Chef event series features local chef-prepared menus, donated by each chef, with proceeds benefiting Taste Project and Taste Community Restaurants. Taste Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit established to feed, educate, and serve our community so they may "...taste and see the Lord is good". We believe everyone should have access to healthy, nutritious food. Learn more at www.tasteproject.org.

Tickets must be purchased in advance. This event is BYOB. For additional Celebrity Chef Dinner and Fundraiser Events, visit www.tasteproject.org/events.
