El Paso FamilyMEAL #7… We’re heading back to El Paso!

Calling all El Paso families (near and far)!

Join us for a special El Paso FamilyMEAL on Wednesday, August 28th at 1700 Steakhouse inside the beautiful Paso Del Norte Hotel in El Paso, TX. This is the third in our series of El Paso-inspired summer dinners.

We've got a fantastic line-up of El Paso chefs cooking up a storm, including:

Mike Graham, 1700 Steakhouse, El Paso, TX

Brianna Paredes, Paso Del Norte Hotel, El Paso, TX

Santiago Estrada, Casa Pantera and El Camino Crudo Club, El Paso, TX

Andres Padilla, Starr Restaurant Group, Las Cruces, NM

Rico Torres and Diego Galicia, Mixtli, San Antonio, TX

Hosted by Chef Mike Graham of 1700 Steakhouse, this is a chance to gather around the table, share some delicious food, and celebrate the El Paso spirit.

Tickets are $150 per person and can be reserved NOW on the website. Don't miss out – space is limited! A portion of this dinner will go to El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank.

 “El Pasoans Fighting Hunger (EPFH) is El Paso's only food bank and a member of Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief network. The Food Bank is the distribution center for over 132 partner pantries across the borderland region and collaborative hub for hunger initiatives that assists in SNAP applications and nutrition education. EPFH also distributes healthy and nutritious food to 235 client choice mobile pantries, which provide food to underserved/unserved communities. We currently serve 200,000 food insecure people with 1 in every 3 children and 1 in every 4 adults unsure of where their next meal will come from.” -EPFH

“Family meal is an important part of the day for restaurants. It is a way to bond with your family away from home. This benefit dinner, in turn, is meant to transform that experience and help our extended migrant families. El Paso is one part of a large international and bi-national metropolis encompassing Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and Las Cruces, New Mexico. What affects one family affects all,” says Mixtli Chef Rico Torres.

The idea behind the evening is to expose local and ex-pat talent—chefs, artists, and musicians—while bringing El Paso natives together for an evening of cooking and camaraderie, all supporting a good cause.
