Join us for our final Simmer installment of 2023! This chef pop-up series brings chefs, writers and educators together for interactive experiences that take us a bit deeper — to tell the stories behind the food and the people who grow, cook and share it.
This winter, we’re teaming up Chef Star Maye, who was recently named Chef de Cuisine at Café Momentum Nashville. A team of her students from Café Momentum’s culinary training program will put their skills to the test through the creation of an intimate, multi-course dinner. Chef Star, formerly of Anzie Blue and recent winner of the Food Network’s hit TV show “Chopped,” will lead the team in developing and preparing an innovative meal.
The evening will celebrate the collective work that seeks to transform the food system and the lives of those who participate in it. This Simmer offers an opportunity for two poverty-disrupting organizations to come together for an unforgettable night. Funds raised from this dinner support both The Nashville Food Project and Café Momentum.
