Big Queer Food Fest: Celebrating LGBTQ+ Culinary Talents

The Big Queer Food Fest is an exciting event in West Hollywood that celebrates the culinary talents of the LGBTQ+ community. Created by television producer David Lewis and producer/filmmaker Chad Hahne, this festival aims to shine a spotlight on the contributions of queer individuals in the culinary industry.
With their extensive experience in producing shows like RuPaul's Drag Race and Food Network's Tournament of Champions, Lewis and Hahne noticed a lack of events that specifically highlighted the LGBTQ+ community's culinary achievements. They decided to change that by organizing the Big Queer Food Fest, a one-of-a-kind festival that showcases the talents of queer chefs.
The festival features renowned chefs such as Rashida Holmes, a two-time James Beard Award nominee, pastry chef Elizabeth Falkner, Tiffani Faison from Food Network, and Arnold Myint from Top Chef, among others. These talented individuals will create mouthwatering dishes that attendees can savor and enjoy.
BQFF On The Road: A Food-Focused Journey
To generate awareness for the Big Queer Food Fest, the organizers have planned a series of food-focused events called "BQFF On The Road." These events serve as a teaser for the main festival and offer attendees a taste of what's to come.
The first stop on this tour took place at Sal's Place in West Hollywood on March 13. Chefs Elizabeth Falkner, Gabe Bertaccini, and Leo Goodloe showcased their culinary skills, while libations were provided by Freya Estrella and Natasha Case, founders of Future Gin.
If you missed out on the first event, don't worry! Tickets are still available for the next BQFF On The Road event, which will be held on Tuesday, March 26, also at Sal's Place in West Hollywood. This is your chance to experience the culinary talents of queer chefs up close and personal.
Expanding Horizons: More Dates and Destinations
The Big Queer Food Fest is not limited to West Hollywood. It will be traveling to different locations, allowing more people to partake in this celebration of LGBTQ+ culinary talents.
On April 14, the festival will make its way to Guerneville in Northern California, offering an opportunity for food lovers in that area to indulge in the creations of talented queer chefs.
Another exciting destination on the festival's itinerary is the High Street Place Food Hall in Boston, scheduled for April 28 (previously scheduled at Tenderoni's). This will be a fantastic chance for Bostonians to experience the vibrant flavors and innovative dishes prepared by queer chefs.
