MetLife Stadium donated 1,000 pounds of prepared food to a non-profit.

That article was based on a viral social media post we did on Saturday regarding a food rescue we ran at MetLife Stadium. That post has garnered nearly 3 million views, to date.

There was a silver lining to the storm delay of AC/DC’s concert at MetLife Stadium.

As the nor’easter pounded northern New Jersey the concert was delayed, but not before 1,000 pounds of fresh sandwiches, wraps, salads, and more was prepared for concertgoers in the stadium’s 200 suites.

So, they contacted Table to Table, a nonprofit food rescue based in Saddle Brook. They immediately responded and brought the donated food to Iglesia Evangélica Pentecostal church in Union City.

“Over 1.2 million of our neighbors in NJ face food insecurity, while nearly 3 billion pounds of surplus food is produced each year in our state, much of which goes to waste,” NJ 101.5 wrote, citing a social media post we wrote about Food Waste Prevention Week.

More than 30 top New Jersey chefs will cook multi-course dinners tableside at the annual Table to Table Chefs Gala on Oct. 15, 2026 … and you can participate.

The gala is a fundraiser for Table to Table, North Jersey’s largest food rescue organization, and features chefs cooking for and chatting with small groups during the dinner, with wine pairings included. Participating chefs include Robbie Felice (pastaRAMEN, Viaggio and others), Roberto Carnero (Warique), Melanie Gonzalez (Saddle River Inn), Andrew Riccatelli (Bacarosa), Greg Power (Matisse 167) and others. The chef honoree at the gala will be acclaimed chef and author Kwame Onwuachi.

“What Table to Table is doing, rescuing nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste and getting it directly into communities, is read, tangible work,” Onwuachi said. “I’m honored to be recognized at the Chefs Gala, but more importantly, I’m proud to be support an organization addressing both sides of that equation – reducing waste while helping feed people who need it.”

The gala format is unique and was such a smash hit last year that Table to Table decided to run it back this year, just in a bigger space.

“It’s not easy to get tables at these chefs’ restaurants,” Table to Table Executive Director Heather Thompson said. “And when you do, you’re not going to have that experience of a chef right next to you watching them work their magic.”
