Cooks Menu Popup Dinner
Il Grano
Los Angeles, CA
The concept for Cooks Menu came together one late night by two cooks sitting at a bar after a hard night's service. We envisioned an event that would bring together rising young cooks to showcase their talents while creating a memorable dining experience and providing an avenue to give back to the community.
This dinner will benefit Breast Cancer Connections which is a nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive, personalized information and support to empower people touched by breast cancer.
