It's been four years since Chefs for Equality made its debut, and still remains one of the best events on the DC calendar, and not just food events. On October 20th chefs and mixologists from across the region will gather at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, DC to raise money and awareness in the continuing fight for equality, this years theme is "RFRain from Discrimination!"

If you can't make it to the actual event you can show your support by heading to one of DC's local eateries: Taylor Gourmet, Shake Shack, Cava Grill and &pizza, for during the month of October they will each be donating proceeds from certain menu items to Chefs for Equality.

Taylor Gourmet: 10% of proceeds from the sale of its risotto ball appetizer

Shake Shack: for every "Pumpkin Pie Oh My" concrete sold they'll donate $2

Cava Grill: a portion of proceeds from each of its seasonal Greek minestrone soup sold

&pizza: for each Kiss + Fire pizza sold they'll donate a portion of the proceeds

Chefs for Equality takes place on Tuesday, October 20th at The Ritz-Carlton, West-End. General admission tickets are $200 and can be purchased here.
