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.
The fight for one became the fight for thousands
Team Hidi
Get ready for Team Hidi 2026
We can’t wait to host Team Hidi 2026 at Truist Park. Watch this space for more details on the best party of the year.
You’ll get to taste the diverse flavors of Atlanta and sample dishes from over one hundred restaurants. Each of which has a rich culinary history rooted in flavors from around the world.
Savor delightful culinary creations from James Beard Award-winning chefs, Michelin-recommended establishments, and neighborhood favorites. Every dish has a story and represents resilience and unity, and we are proud to be part of this culinary community standing by our people and their wellbeing.
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.
