Kick-Off Private Chef Week with foodies from local restaurant and ghost kitchens across the DMV. This year, our reunion returns to support Chef Yahya Sardari, owner of KooKoo Restaurant and Lounge in celebration of the restaurant's one year anniversary. This is the perfect backdrop for an evening that unites the culinary arts scene and beverage enthusiasts. As we mark one year of culinary excellence, join us for an exclusive event featuring seasonal menu highlights and curated cocktail tastings. This is the start of a week dedicated to the artistry and innovation that define the private chef experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a community that celebrates the very best in food and drink.

This year's Black Legacy Dinner theme is Culinary Noir, an exclusive event celebrating business and commerce for African Americans. This intimate experience will also honor and celebrate respected business leaders in the community. This immersive dining experience, set against the sultry backdrop of international jazz sensation Marcus Johnson’s live performance, will transport you into the soulful world of jazz and culinary mastery. The evening will feature a curated 3-couorse menu crafted by talented culinary artists.

Cocktail Reception will feature the Black Bar Project (minority and Black-owned wine and spirits) place on the 2nd floor of the National Union Building followed by main dishes and an-award winning dessert bar.

All tickets include an open bar. Table options will include 2 bottles of wine or 1 spirit, product and recognition at the dinner.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Henderson Beauty Academy.
