An all-star slate of Triangle chefs will gather Monday night for a charity dinner in Raleigh.
The Stand Together Gala will be held Monday, Oct. 23 at Whitaker & Atlantic at 1053 E. Whitaker Mill Road, within the Dock 1053 development in Raleigh. The event benefits NextStep Raleigh, a paralysis recovery center with a major connection to the Triangle’s chef community.

Michael Thor is the co-owner of Whiskey Kitchen in Raleigh.
Monday’s gala features James Beard-nominated chefs and some of the Triangle’s most exciting up-and-comers in the local dining scene.
