For the fourth year, Bracken’s Kitchen will celebrate its signature culinary event benefiting the less fortunate and food insecure in Southern California. This year’s edition, THE HUNGRY GAMES 4.0 will feature talented, local chefs creating their trademark dishes and competing in the organization’s very own 9,000 square foot kitchen in Garden Grove on Thursday, September 9, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the culinary competition, participate in silent and live auctions and learn more about the great work to which Bracken’s Kitchen is devoted.
Bracken’s Kitchen welcomes a variety of Southern California's top chefs including Chef Andrew Gruel of Slapfish, Chef Rich Mead at Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens, Chef Peter Petro of Bosscat Kitchen + Libations, Chef Greg Daniels of Harley Laguna Beach, Master Baker Dean Kim of OC Baking Co., Michael and Dave Rossi, formerly of the Ranch Restaurant, Allan Tea, founder of Capital Seafood, Hello Kitty Café and Cali Dumpling company, Tarit Tanjasiri of Crema Café and ARTISAN, Kris Kirk, formerly of DivBar, Ecco Pizza and Sage on the Coast, and Charlie Negrete from Bracken’s Kitchen.
All are invited to The Hungry Games 4.0 as the organization seeks to raise awareness about childhood hunger and food insecurity in Southern California, and create more partnerships with individuals who want to be a part of the solution. 100% of the proceeds from the event will support the work and programs of Bracken’s Kitchen.
Early Bird Tickets through July 31 -- $95
August 1 to Sept. 2 Tickets -- $150
