There is something truly powerful about having amazing organizations and professionals in your corner who show up for the causes on the hearts and minds of our Chicago culinary community.

Because of your generosity, each participating charity from this year’s “I Cook For” event will receive $10,000.

Thank you for supporting what we do, for believing in the power of chef civic leadership, and for helping turn one extraordinary night into lasting impact.

Four years ago, a group of chefs said yes to an idea.

When chefs unify, we make an impact. When we show up together for causes we care about, that impact saves lives.

That idea became Chicago Chefs Cook.

And today — we’re a 2X finalist in the 2026 Food Awards for Community Impact.

We don’t take that lightly. This city’s chef community is extraordinary. Being named in recognition of their impact means everything.

Congratulations to our fellow finalists — , , , — and to every chef and restaurant that took a stand during the last 12 months. This category is full of amazing people doing heroic work.

If CCC has ever amplified a cause you care about, connected you to the power of food and chef civic leadership, or deepened your connection to Chicago’s purpose-driven culinary community — we’d love your vote.
