Team Hidi came about when Atlanta Chef Ryan Hidinger was diagnosed with late-stage cancer in December 2012. It was Ryan’s journey – the groundswell of support by his industry – that ignited the formation of Giving Kitchen. Hidi’s legacy lives through Giving Kitchen and our mission to provide stability to food service workers. Food and beverage tastings, auctions, musicians, and speeches make Team Hidi Giving Kitchen’s biggest and most-anticipated event every year.

Fueled by Georgia Natural Gas, Giving Kitchen’s biggest event returns to Truist Park on March 15, 2026 for another night of incredible culinary creations in support of food service workers.
Team Hidi 2025 knocked it out of the park!
After a preliminary number crunch, you have helped Giving Kitchen raise more than $1.1 million for food service workers in crisis.
That’s enough to cover 917 months of rent (the length of 253,938 baseball games)! And that’s just in one evening…
Together, we are Giving Kitchen. We help food service workers. You truly stepped up in an incredible way at Team Hidi 2025 at Truist Park. 1,395 guests, 258 volunteers, and 111 incredible food and beverage partners showed up for food service workers on Sunday night, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
