SUMMARY:5th Annual Taste for Life - Honoring the life and legacy of Anthony Bourdain
DESCRIPTION:5th Annual A Taste for Life Honoring the life and legacy of Anthony Bourdain\, a true culinary icon \nBenefiting NAMI Louisville & The Pete Foundation \n\nNew Location: 3rd Turn Oldham Gardens\nMC: Dawne Gee of WAVE 3 TV\nDate: Sunday\, June 28\nTime: 3 PM – 6 PM\n\n\nTickets Presale (Ends May 31)\n\nEntry for 2: $105 – Both guests must enter together\nGeneral Admission $70\nChild Ticket $25\n\nPurchase tickets: https://redpintix.com/events/a-taste-for-life-2026-6-28-2026 \nWatch: https://fb.watch/FBwftYwLNF/ \nEvent Overview After a one-year hiatus\, A Taste for Life returns to Louisville\, Kentucky—bringing together Chris Williams of Four Pegs Smokehouse\, 40+ chefs\, 20 beverage stations\, and members of the service industry for an impactful afternoon of food\, community\, and purpose. The event honors Anthony Bourdain\, whose influence continues to resonate deeply within the hospitality community. \n\nThe Mission A Taste for Life underscores a simple truth: the service industry is demanding and often takes a toll. Long hours\, late nights\, and high-pressure environments can increase the risk of mental health challenges\, addiction\, and suicide. Too many—both within the industry and beyond—don’t know where to turn for help. Through the power of food and community\, this event raises awareness\, normalizes seeking support\, and connects people to vital local resources. All proceeds benefit NAMI Louisville and The Pete Foundation. \n\nWhat to Expect • Unlimited tastings from over 40 local chefs • Liquor & Beer Tastings • Guest speakers from NAMI and The Pete Foundation “Don’t give in to stigma. A diagnosis does not determine who you are or what you can do!” NAMI \n\nEvent Details\nWHO: The service industry—and you \nWHAT: A Taste for Life – A Food & Drink Celebration raising awareness for an at-risk industry \nWHEN: Sunday\, June 28 | 3 PM – 6 PM \nWHERE: 3rd Turn Oldham Gardens \nWHY: A day honoring culture\, cuisine\, and the human condition—while addressing the reality that mental health in the restaurant and bar industry is often strained by long hours\, high pressure\, and a culture that can make it difficult to ask for help. Because it’s OK to not be OK. \n\nSpecial Thanks: Proceeds benefiting The Pete Foundation and NAMI \nThe Pete Foundation Mission: Rally communities to champion youth mental health and wellness through normalizing the topic\, promoting education and providing tools for healthy emotional development. \nNAMI Louisville: NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness\, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization
