"Run by a nonprofit that provides hospitality‑industry training to people facing employment barriers, this restaurant is known far and wide for its Guest Chef Nights, where area chefs take over the kitchen and ticket proceeds benefit the organization. The newly announced 2026 lineup includes notable names like Off Alley’s Evan Leichtling and Lenox’s Jhonny Reyes, and tickets are $60." - Harry Cheadle
