CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Harvest & Hope: A Delicious Way to Support Hurricane Relief in Western NC
If you’re looking for a way to enjoy an unforgettable meal and give back to a meaningful cause, The Goodyear House in NoDa is cooking up something truly special.
On today’s Charlotte Today, we welcomed Chef Chris Coleman, a six-time Food Network star (who famously beat Bobby Flay!) and the executive chef of The Goodyear House, to talk about the upcoming Harvest & Hope Dinner, happening October 28 at 6:30 PM.
This one-night-only culinary experience is more than just a dinner, it’s a collaboration with Cheeni Indian Food Emporium in Durham, and it’s raising money for the NC Community Foundation’s Western NC Disaster Relief Fund, which continues to support hurricane recovery efforts in the mountains.
Chef Chris Coleman sharing: “a lot of people don’t realize how much need still exists in Western NC. This dinner is our way of something to help, and getting to be creative while doing it.”
Get ready to be amazed! The dinner features a star-studded culinary lineup:

🍽️ Chef Preeti Waas – 2x James Beard Award nominee from Cheeni
