About This Event

Men Who Cook: Food. Community. Opportunity.

Join Communities In Schools of Hampton Roads and Blackeyed Peas Restaurant for Men Who Cook, an afternoon bringing together talented chefs, great food, community connections, and a shared commitment to supporting local students.

Friday, November 13, 2026 | 2:00–6:00 PM
Blackeyed Peas Restaurant – 3rd Floor
241 Granby Street, Norfolk, VA 23510

Men Who Cook gives participating chefs an opportunity to showcase their culinary talents, share their food, and connect with community members and potential clients. Guests will enjoy a variety of dishes prepared by participating chefs while networking and supporting a meaningful cause.

For chefs, this is more than an opportunity to cook. It is a chance to gain exposure, make new connections, and potentially be hired for future events and opportunities.

Proceeds from Men Who Cook will be donated to Communities In Schools of Hampton Roads (CISofHR) to support our work helping students overcome barriers and succeed in school and in life.

Interested in participating as a chef? Register through this page to join us and showcase what you bring to the table.

Cook. Connect. Give Back.
