A LITTLE ABOUT OUR GUEST CHEF DINNER SERIES

Hosted in our commercial training kitchen, Community Kitchen Pittsburgh's Signature Guest Chef Dinner Series gives our culinary jobs training students the opportunity to work alongside some of Pittsburgh's most talented chefs. As they prepare and present each multi-course dinner, students gain valuable hands-on experience and learn new techniques from chefs who generously volunteer their time and talents.

As one of our social enterprises, proceeds from every Guest Chef Dinner directly support our mission, helping us provide no-cost culinary job training to adults facing barriers to employment.

When you purchase a ticket to a Guest Chef Dinner, you're doing more than enjoying an incredible meal. You're investing in opportunity, workforce development, and stronger communities, one seat at a time.
