Benefiting
Recipe for Success

Recipe for Success Foundation is dedicated to combating childhood obesity by changing the way our children understand, appreciate and eat their food, and by educating and mobilizing the community to provide healthier diets for children.

Texas based Chefs

Martin Preferred Foods will bring together local Houston chefs to show off what’s new, what’s to eat, and what’s to know. From micro to macro, tastemakers and attendees will see what’s making the cut.

Showcase Food

This is not your typical “foodie event;” rather, it’s a collage of chefs that will gather for one night to showcase food and menu ideas that will set future trends.

Shared Insights

Food professionals will share ideas, insights, and techniques with invited guests as well as the media. Findings will be published the day of the event to the media.
