EAT & EVOLVE 2025
ONE SEED AT A TIME:
GROWING CHOICE, BELONGING, AND POSSIBILITIES
Meet the Chefs
The hands and hearts behind the plates.

Each chef who joins Eat & Evolve brings more than skill — they bring a story. Together, they create an evening where craft meets care, and every dish becomes a conversation about community, creativity, and possibility.
