Men Who Cook is the primary annual fundraiser for Children's Advocacy Center - Hope House, a local nonprofit that provides hope, healing and justice for victims of child abuse on the Northshore. Local "celebrities" (community leaders) team up with local restaurants to compete to raise the most money for Hope House, and to see who can create the best dish. The event includes tastings of each team's featured dish (and a lively competition), wine and beer, live music, a silent auction and more.

The 2023 event takes place November 5 on the rooftop of the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center parking garage. Admission is $75 per person. For more information, visit http://www.cachopehouse.org/events.
