Chefs for Equality

Beau Thai participated in the 2023 Chefs for Equality by providing a savory tasting table — a made-to-order papaya salad station — and through financial donation.

In the 2023 event benefitting the Human Rights Campaign, Chefs for Equality brought together over 150 of the capital region's top chefs, pastry chefs and mixologists for an evening of food, cocktails and music to benefit the fight for full LGBTQ+ equality.

Held at the National Building Museum, the event featured 40 savory tasting stations and 20 crafted cocktail stations headed by renowned chefs and mixologists from the Greater D.C. area, as well as 13 personal chef tables — an opportunity to dine with celebrity chefs for a lavish five-course meal in the middle of the action. The DMV area's top pastry chefs prepared stunning show-piece cakes that adorned the museum, and guests can sample these delectable pastries towards the end of the evening before heading out with a curated limited-edition goody bag chock-full of culinary goodies. In addition to impressive fare, live and silent auctions are also held .
