On Thursday, July 17, 2025 The Nashville Food Project’s largest annual fundraising event, Nourish, took place at Marathon Music Works. A unique community organization, TNFP is part of an emergency food system that cooks hot, nutritious meals for more than 60 partners serving children, unhoused people, veterans, and others. TNFP is also on the front lines of food justice, addressing the root problems that create food insecurity in Nashville.
The highly anticipated event featured a multi-course dinner prepared by some of Nashville’s most beloved chefs, including:
- Colby Rasavong of Bad Idea
- Sean Wen and Adam Lathan of Curry Boys
- Chris and Emma Biard of S.S. Gai
- Amy Watson and Clinton Spruill of Saap Sapp BBQ
- Ana Aguilar and Josh Cook of Tantisimo
- Mason Hereford, Lauren Agudo, and Will Mondros of Turkey & the Wolf Ice House
Read more about each participating chef here, and hear more from Chef Rasavong as part of last year’s event here.
The chefs created a menu centered around seasonal produce provided by refugee and immigrant farmers with agrarian backgrounds who work with TNFP. The organization engages farmers who are interested in growing produce to sell at markets and to restaurants, supporting them with land, resources, training and technical assistance, and marketing support.
