Chefs for Equality, D.C.’s Premiere Tasting Event, Returns for Its Tenth Year | Eater DC

"After a years-long pandemic hiatus, I attended Chefs for Equality at the National Building Museum, a 10th-anniversary benefit from the HRC Foundation and David Hagedorn that brought together 150 chefs, bakers, and mixologists for a night of food, drink, entertainment, auctions, and decadent decor. The event features 40 savory tasting stations serving everything from kimchi Reubens to foie gras macarons, 20 cocktail bars, 13 lavish chef tables with five-course meals in the action, stunning cakes for dessert, and culinary goodie bags; new activations include a “Speed Diner meets Drag Brunch” performance curated by Crazy Aunt Helen’s, a central “Queerlada Shop” from Colada Shop, and an upper-tier Champagne & Caviar Lounge. Tickets ($325 or $550) support HRC’s educational work and its Plate of Emergency theme calling attention to intensified attacks on the LGBTQ+ community." - Tierney Plumb
