Join us for the Sprouts Chef Training Gala - A Taste of Italy, an evening celebrating the power of mentorship, culinary artistry, and youth transformation. This evening brings together award-winning chefs, top restaurateurs, philanthropists, and industry leaders to support and celebrate Sprouts’ mission—equipping underserved youth with the skills and opportunities to rise from hardship through careers in the culinary arts. This year’s gala honors Italian heritage and cuisine, featuring an extraordinary lineup of renowned Bay Area chefs preparing a multi-course menu inspired by Italy’s regional traditions.

Attendees will enjoy welcome bubbles + bites followed by a 4-course dinner program led by chefs Thomas McNaughton & Ryan Pollnow of Flour + Water with honored guests, sommelier pairings by
Shelley Lindgren of A16, and live auction by Liam Mayclem.

Proceeds support the culinary training and job placement for Bay Area youth in need.
