Pilot Light’s Feed Your Mind Gala is a celebration of food education and one of Chicago’s premier culinary events. On November 4th, our founders – chefs Jason Hammel, Paul Kahan, Justin Large, and Matthias Merges – shared the stage with acclaimed Chicago chefs, including Jonathan Zaragoza (Birrieria Zaragoza & Con Todo), Beverly Kim & Johnny Clark (Wherewithall & Parachute), James Martin (Bocadillo Market), Joe Flamm (Rose Mary & BLVD Steakhouse) and Genie Kwon & Tim Flores (Kasama). Together, they created an unforgettable experience for our guests and raise funds to support students and teachers with food education that is part of everyday learning.
Thank you to our sponsors!
Save the Date for November 3, 2023! See you next year!
