Service: dine with us
SERVICE is a dinner series presented by Chef Daniel Humm at Rethink Food’s Sustainable Community Kitchen. These intimate, all-inclusive dinners—featuring five courses with beverage pairings—raise funds to support our work across the city. Past guests have included Michelin-star chefs like Daniel Humm, Daniel Boulud, Charlie Mitchell, and other top culinary talent.
Events: celebrate with purpose
Located in Greenwich Village (116 W Houston St.), our 800-square-foot kitchen is a state-of-the-art space where we prepare catering, fundraisers, pop-ups, and more. We also transform donated ingredients from events across the city into meals for food-insecure New Yorkers. Let’s plan your next event!
