VIVA CHICAGO:
An Evening with Chef Rick Bayless and Chef Richard Sandoval
Join Chef Rick Bayless and Chef Richard Sandoval for a 5-course Viva Abejas-inspired feast paired with agave spirits and bespoke cocktails at Chef Sandoval’s newest Chicago restaurant, Toro. On one night only, you can experience two world-renowned chefs join forces to support Viva Abejas and Frontera Farmer Foundation.
Chef Richard Sandoval's Viva Abejas initiative is designed to inspire future generations about the critical role of bees in our ecosystems and the vital connection between food, the environment and sustainability. Viva Abejas supports The World Bee Project and has a goal to educate 60,000 young learners annually.
The Frontera Farmer Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, is committed to promoting small, sustainable farms serving the Chicago area by providing them with capital development grants. The Foundation envisions a year-round interchange between sustainable farmers and consumers, including farmers’ market patrons and chefs, in which seasonal local agriculture provides the foundation for sustainable regional cuisine.
