This year, we are extremely excited to announce our partnership with Cohn’s Kitchen.

Cohn’s Kitchen is a DC based 501c non-profit whose mission is to provide restaurant and culinary job training and workforce development to under-served and underprivileged DC young adults.

Founded by restaurant and hospitality legend Paul J. Cohn, and entrepreneur Elizabeth B. Scott, Cohn’s Kitchen serves to educate, empower and develop young adults in the District of Columbia as the next generation of culinary and restaurant professionals, leaders and entrepreneurs.

This year’s festival will donate a portion of proceeds from ticket sales and a silent auction to help Cohn’s Kitchen create these needed opportunities within our community.
The auction will begin on February 4th and end February 10th. No ticket purchases will be necessary to participate and bidding will be available in person and on line. Auction items will include gift certificates for local restaurants, signed bottles of wine, and trips to visit some of your favorite wineries among other incredible items. Donations will also be accepted online.
Please help us support our community!
