Charlotte, N.C. (July 13, 2022) – The American Cancer Society (ACS) of Western North Carolina and South Carolina is gearing up for its annual gala, Taste of Hope Charlotte presented by Harris Teeter. On Saturday, Sept. 24, the event will head back to Le Meridien Charlotte for another amazing night of food, fundraising and fun.
Hosted by the Taste of Hope’s Board of Ambassadors and Associate Board of Ambassadors, the gala will present an evening of culinary excellence courtesy of celebrity Chef David Burke and Charlotte’s own Chef Lisa Brooks, along with other talented chefs from the region.
Burke, a leading pioneer in modern American cooking, is recognized internationally for his revolutionary techniques, exceptional skills, successful restaurant empire and his many TV appearances. In the parlance of today’s celebrity driven culture, he is a rock star of the culinary world. “I am thrilled to create a delectable course for Taste of Hope Charlotte guests,” said the New Jersey native. “We may have a twist on okra that will be memorable.”
Brooks, a coach and content creator, as well as private chef, is a resident of Charlotte, who is determined to keep her family’s gastronomic legacy alive. She does so by pairing traditional Southern culture and family recipes with her classic French culinary training to create dishes that expand people’s gustatory imaginations. Brooks has appeared in several Food Network shows, including CHOPPED! and Guy’s Grocery Games.
“We are excited about for the theme for this year’s gala, ‘A Night on Bourbon Street,’ featuring traditional Cajun foods with a special bourbon pairing by the Charlotte Bourbon Society,” said Cheryl Richards, Ph.D., president & CEO, catapult and chair, Taste of Hope Charlotte Board of Ambassadors. “We are thrilled to welcome back our supporters as we stick a fork in cancer!”
There are a limited number of reserved tickets, tables, and sponsorships available for the multi-faceted evening that will feature a cocktail reception, four-course chefs’-inspired dinner, bourbon tasting, silent and live auctions, and live entertainment by Charlotte’s No. 1 ranked cover band, New Local.

Private dining, what is it and what does it consist of? What is private dining?
In response to the prevailing situation, I decided to create an alternative to going to a restaurant – private dining. You don’t have to wait for a restaurant to open, worry about whether it’s safe to go out to one, or settle for mediocre delivery food. You can have a restaurant in your own home! Without going outside the door of your own home, plan an intimate dinner there, for yourself and a group of friends, or celebrating a business meeting. For everyday and “festive”, any occasion is good to eat well.
