Pop-Up for LA: A Culinary Fundraiser for Wildfire Relief

Pop-Up for LA is a foodie fundraiser bringing together the most beloved chefs in San Diego to support wildfire relief.

This incredible event is happening at Herb & Wood in Little Italy. For just $50, you’ll indulge in next-level bites, all while making a real difference for those impacted by devastating wildfires.

Meet the All-Star Chef Lineup

Some of the best culinary minds in the region—and beyond—are joining forces for this one-day-only event. Here’s who’s cooking up the magic:

What’s on the menu? Think smash burgers, oysters, fries, and other crave-worthy bites. Plus, there’ll be plenty of cocktails, beer, and wine available for purchase to pair with all that goodness.

Why This Event Matters

This isn’t just about incredible food—it’s about giving back. All proceeds from Pop-Up for LA will be donated to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides disaster relief through the power of food.

To make your ticket even more impactful, Chef Works will match all donations up to $10,000. Every bite you enjoy doubles your contribution to wildfire relief efforts.

See you there!

The event will take place at Herb & Wood in Little Italy. It is scheduled for Monday, January 20, from 1 PM to 5 PM. Tickets are priced at $50 and can be purchased through OpenTable.

If you love great food and great causes, this is the event for you. Secure your tickets on OpenTable today and join a community of food lovers giving back.

Pop-Up for LA is more than just a foodie dream—it’s a chance to support wildfire relief while enjoying dishes created by the most beloved chefs in San Diego.

Let’s show up and prove that food truly has the power to bring us together for good.

See you there, San Diego!
