COME GROW WITH US

Come Grow With Us 2018 was amazing.

Come Grow With Us: Chef Showdown is our signature annual fundraising gala. This September, over 600 guests joined us for the third year running at the Ace Hotel. Guests enjoyed unforgettable cuisine from over twenty of New Orleans’ finest culinary visionaries, several open bars, and live music. Our live auction featured one-of-a-kind opportunities and experiences, including a farm-to-table dinner at Paradigm Gardens with Patois, and an in-home dinner by Martha Wiggins!

Sponsors enjoyed benefits such as patron party access at the Alto rooftop bar, logo and name displays in our program, signage, and social media, and tickets to our monthly Guest Chef Night dinner series.

This year, Come Grow With Us was presented by our partners The Ruby Slipper Cafe. We were thrilled to honor four very special people.

Janet Gorence Davas Youth Achievement Award: Max Williams and Kisscha “Keedy” Tiffith

Calvin Johnson Youth Advocate Award: Troy James

Our inaugural Food Justice Champion Award: the late Arthur “Mr. Okra” Robinson
