Celebrating Jacques Pépin’s 90th Birthday at The Publican
This celebration is part of a nationwide series of 90 dinners leading up to Jacques Pépin’s 90th birthday in December 2025. The campaign, which preserves, protects, and promotes Jacques’ legacy, directly supports the Jacques Pépin Foundation’s educational initiatives including free instructional videos on the website, YouTube and social media channels, and the established Community Kitchens Support program, empowering people facing barriers to employment through culinary training. Funds raised will be used to enhance the Community Kitchen grants, all educational programs, and to build the new JPF Learning Curriculum available on a dedicated educational website for Community Kitchens nationwide.
One Off Hospitality Group is thrilled to join the celebration of Jacques Pépin’s 90th birthday with an unforgettable dinner at The Publican restaurant in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood featuring chefs from The Publican and its subsidiary Publican brands. Join us for a lineup helmed by The Publican’s Chef de Cuisine Joe Spain along with Rob Levitt (Chef de Cuisine, Publican Quality Meats), Greg Wade (Managing Partner & Head Baker, Publican Quality Bread) and Natalie Saben (Executive Pastry Chef, One Off Hospitality). Proceeds will support the Jacques Pépin Foundation. Your ticket purchase helps transform lives through culinary education, and we deeply appreciate your generous support.
