Chef Showdown: Feeding the Soul of the City Reimagined

Feeding the Soul of the City is back-- but with an exciting new twist!
Join us Thursday, March 27 for Feeding the Soul of the City: Chef Showdown! Get ready for an unforgettable evening where Lincoln's top chefs compete to create the most delicious gourmet bites.
Serving meals is at the heart of our mission, but equally important is ensuring our guests have a safe place to go after our doors close for the evening. With that in mind, all proceeds from the Chef Showdown support Matt Talbot’s housing programs which help guests experiencing homelessness find stability and a safe place to call home.
One chef will come out on top, but our community will be the big winner of this epic culinary battle. Mark your calendar and join us for this fun and impactful evening!
