WASTED: save the food fest is a tastemaker event that challenges premier chefs to take food items that would typically be wasted from their kitchen and re-purpose them into delicious plates.

Enjoy small bites from top chefs focused on reducing food waste, sip on tasty mocktails, and learn about sustainable food practices through fun, interactive activities, all against the backdrop of The Soap Factory—a community hub with artist residencies, gardens, and local eats. Don’t miss your chance to vote for your favorite creations and learn a thing or two along the way.

Join us for a celebration of sustainability, local eats, and supporting those at the heart of the restaurant industry.
