Food Finders, a 30-year old nonprofit focused on Food Recovery is hosting its 4th Annual “Chefs to the Rescue” fundraiser on Tuesday, October 1st from 6 – 9 pm at the Golden Sails Hotel located at 6285 E Pacific Coast Hwy in Long Beach.
This unique, food-centric event challenges prominent local chefs to create “Edible Extras”: tasting samples and small plates made from perfectly edible recovered or repurposed food that might otherwise end up being tossed away.
“We’ve seen some of the most amazing dishes at this event made using everything from potato peels to fish necks to pork belly,” said Patti Larson, executive director of Food Finders. “and while restaurants do a great job utilizing their inventory, we want to inspire people to do the same in their own kitchens and across the food industry in general. We also want to ensure that Food Finders can continue to serve its 400+ nonprofit partners that feed people in need, so this event supports that ongoing effort.”
Participating chefs:
- Chef David Coleman – The Breakers, Long Beach
- Chef Genio Mostajo – Tortilla Jo’s, Downtown Disney, Anaheim
- Chef Alfonso Ramirez – Catal, Downtown Disney, Anaheim
- Chef “T” Visoth Ouk – Waters Edge Winery, Long Beach
