Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Contributions to the Culinary World
Big Queer Food Fest unites chefs, winemakers, distillers, purveyors, non-profit organizations, and the broader community to celebrate, elevate, and amplify the remarkable contributions of the queer culinary community. Food transcends boundaries and connects us all. By bringing together diverse culinary talents, we create beautiful, inclusive spaces where culinary artistry thrives.
Queer food isn't defined or constrained by any particular cuisine; it's shaped by the stories and lived experiences of the chefs who make it. Through collaboration and celebration, we aim to inspire others while reinforcing the universal language of food that binds us together.
"Queer food tells the stories of resilience, resistance, and joy within our community."
