2024 Chefs Gala Honoree: Chef Jamie Knott
Congratulations to Chef Jamie Knott for being named the Chef Honoree at Table to Table’s 25th Anniversary Chefs Gala September 25th. Jamie was also announced as the newest trustee of Table to Table’s Board of Directors.
Jamie spent a day rescuing food on a Table to Table truck with Michael Cerstvik, Table to Table’s sourcing coordinator.
“I was blown away by the quality of the food. The fresh produce, the beautiful cuts of meat, and farm-fresh dairy. To think this glorious food could’ve ended up in the trash. But it doesn’t, it makes its way to those in need! That is all thanks to Table to Table,” Jamie said. “There’s enough food on this planet for everyone who is food insecure. But it’s not always making its way to the right mouths. That’s why Table to table is so crucial, and frankly, they’re saving lives out here. I vow to carry on the incredible work that’s been done over the last two and a half decades, and look for ways to expand our reach and impact even further.”
Congratulations, Chef Jamie Knott!
