Prominent chefs are organizing a charitable dinner in Gironde to support the Bordeaux and Gironde Food Bank. The fourth edition of Mercès Héra will take place in the halls of the Bordeaux town hall on October 15. The event was initiated by Stéphane Carrade, a two-star chef who launched the concept in 2023. Carrade, who is based at the Skiff Club in La Teste-de-Buch, is joined by several chefs from the Southwest, including 13 members of the Egregore collective, which specializes in local products from the region. Among these chefs, there are seven Michelin stars. The dinner will feature a gastronomic experience with fourteen food and wine pairings, prepared using products collected by the food bank to finance its activities. Chefs and winemakers from the classified growths of Graves and great wines of Bordeaux will be present to engage with guests. The event will be attended by more than 250 guests, and the funds collected—through the price of the meal, donations, and purchases of wine bottles—will be directly transferred to the food bank. The Bordeaux and Gironde Food Bank supports more than 22,000 people per week, according to Sud Ouest. The price of the dinner is 190 euros. This event highlights the collaboration between local culinary talent and charitable efforts to address food insecurity in the region. The gathering not only showcases the region’s rich gastronomic heritage but also raises awareness about the ongoing need for food assistance.
