Flavors Culinary Galas

Thanks to the variety and star appeal of the more notable food and lifestyle shows on network and cable television, Americans are more in tune with today’s hottest chefs, restaurants, and culinary trends than ever before.


With the Flavors culinary galas, the American Liver Foundation taps into our new food-savvy culture and offers an immersive environment in which guests can experience new tastes, sights and sounds - almost as if they were starring in their very own food show with a local celebrity chef!

Each Flavors event spotlights premier regional chefs and creates a high-end, exclusive, gourmet experience for a limited number of guests. Nowhere else will you witness firsthand these culinary experts creating a menu that goes above and beyond the usual restaurant fare. Flavors gives chefs the perfect opportunity to expand their creative juices, and they do so with gusto!

Flavors was first stirred together by the Arizona Chapter in 1992 as its first major event to raise money for research and education. It was an immediate success! Since 1999, other ALF Chapters have built on the success of Flavors, bringing this unique culinary experience to their own markets. There are now seventeen chapters in all that have made Flavors an integral part of their event calendar.
