Chefs for Equality 2025

Chefs for Equality returns this fall with an extraordinary celebration of food, cocktails, and music in support of full LGBTQ+ equality. Titled Everything Everywhere All at Once, the 2025 edition launches on Monday, October 27 with five chef-driven collaboration dinners across Washington, D.C., featuring many of the region’s most acclaimed chefs, mixologists, and pastry chefs. Highlights include multi-course dinners with wine pairings at Acqua Bistecca, Moon Rabbit, The Duck and the Peach, and CUT by Wolfgang Puck—with Wolfgang Puck himself in attendance—plus Perry’s Restaurant’s dazzling “Drag Brunch for Dinner,” curated by James Beard Award–winning chef Masako Morisita and brought to life by some of D.C.’s top drag performers. Throughout the week, participating restaurants and bars across the DMV will offer Chefs for Equality specials, donating a portion of proceeds to the HRC Foundation, before the festivities culminate on November 2. Each dinner will feature lively auctions, signature goody bags, florals by Amaryllis Design House, and a host of surprises, ensuring an unforgettable experience for a vital cause.
