On Guest Chef Night, each ticket represents more than a seat at the table—it is an investment in opportunity, empowerment, and transformation. As guests gather to enjoy thoughtfully curated dishes and rich cultural flavors, they are directly supporting ASHHO’s 12-week Trauma-Informed Culinary & Hospitality Job Training Program.

Behind the scenes, program participants gain invaluable, hands-on experience in food preparation, professional service, event execution, and guest hospitality. This immersive training equips individuals with the practical skills, confidence, and industry knowledge needed to pursue sustainable careers in the culinary and hospitality fields.

Throughout the evening, guests are invited to savor authentic Southern Comfort and Creole-inspired cuisine, artfully prepared with care and passion by our featured guest chef alongside our dedicated job training graduates. Each dish tells a story—of resilience, culture, and community—crafted with intention and served with pride.

Guest Chef Night is more than a dining experience; it is a celebration of talent, a platform for growth, and a meaningful way to be part of lasting change.
