James Beard Award-winning chef, restauranteur, and author Kwame Onwuachi will be honored this fall as more than 30 chefs gather in Rockleigh to support a North Jersey organization that rescues surplus food for people in need.

Table to Table’s 2026 Chefs Gala is set for Thursday Oct. 15 at The Rockleigh. Organizers said demand prompted the annual fundraiser’s move to the larger venue.

A cocktail reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed at 7 p.m. by a multicourse dinner prepared and served tableside by participating chefs. The evening also will include wine pairings and a live auction. American Express is the presenting sponsor.
