Join us January 18th, 2024, for the 11th Annual Culinary Futures event! An evening in The Fashion Theatre at AmericasMart to benefit rising stars in culinary arts.

Join us for an evening with the Housewares industry to make a difference in the lives of talented kids who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to culinary school. With consistent support from Atlanta Market/ANDMORE, HIC, Dugan Bliss, and the Les Dames d’Escoffier International-Atlanta Chapter, this need-based scholarship program benefits a female high school senior pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts, Hospitality or related fields.

100% of the proceeds from the annual event go directly into this scholarship fund. Thanks to Culinary Futures attendees and sponsors, each year we can help make dreams come true.

Increasing our impact, this year we are thrilled to support an additional program for future culinarians - The CHEF (Culinary and Hospitality Entrepreneurs of the Future) Summer Camp for high school students.

The night will feature passed hors d’oeuvres, chef driven food stations teamed with Dekalb County Culinary Arts students, an open bar (wine, beer, specialty cocktail), a raffle and so much more, plus a chance to meet and hear from past recipients.

About Culinary Futures
Each year, Les Dames d’Escoffier International–Atlanta Chapter hosts an annual fundraiser and reception to support our Culinary Futures program, which benefits one female high school senior pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts, Hospitality or related fields.

Tickets to the event also included access to Atlanta Market at AmericasMart Atlanta, the premier gift, decor and lifestyle market that features the nation’s largest gift product mix complemented by a broad selection of home décor. Each year, Atlanta Market features more than 8,000 brands across all categories including seasonal, gourmet, tabletop, outdoor and more. Passes cannot be purchased to the mart, so it’s a rare opportunity for anyone who is not in the industry to gain access to this exclusive wholesale shopping experience.
