Bracken's Kitchen in Garden Grove September 11th
THE HUNGRY GAMES 8.0 This evening consisted of talented, local chefs competing to make a crowd favorite dish, plenty of sweets, beverages, incredible live music and so much more! Attendees judged the food and helped select the next Hungry Games Champion. Utilizing the power and popularity of the Food Truck, the Kitchen provides meals in a manner that echoes a fun, upbeat environment. The heart of our Culinary Trio of Services is to help feed the need in a sustainable way while empowering those that we feed. Rescuing tons of edible food that would otherwise go to waste and turning it into a beautiful, nutritious meal.
