In 2018, after the death of Chef Anthony Bourdain, Buffalo’s food & beverage community came together to grieve by doing what we do best, eating, drinking, celebrating life. All proceeds went to a local charity. Afterwards, we realized there were gaps within our close-knit community. Mental And physical health effected tremendously by those in the Restaurant Industry.

A Cook’s Tour Buffalo has transitioned into The Family Meal Hospitality Trust. A nonprofit Charity organization designed to help Hospitality Industry workers in need. The hard work the long hours and dedication it takes to be a part of the service Industry can have lasting effects on both a person’s physical and emotional well-being. We are working to try to help change that. We are hoping to provide community resources to the Hospitality industry that might otherwise seem unattainable. Our goal is to host fundraising events or "Family Meals" at partner Restaurants throughout the year to raise money so we can hopefully someday offer things like health insurance, rehabilitation, money management or assist in paid leave when there is a catastrophic event.
