Casa de Amparo will host its first-ever virtual 24th Annual Meet the Chefs event on Sunday, April 18, 2021. Historically, this exquisite culinary experience treats over 300 guests to sample signature dishes from over a dozen premier restaurants and chefs in San Diego, complemented by an extensive selection of wines and champagne. This year will look slightly different but the experience will still lend an enjoyable afternoon of gourmet appetizers, premium wine, desserts and more. The popular event annually raises over $125,000, which directly benefits Casa de Amparo’s programs that service foster youth in San Diego County.
