The Rescue Party
An exquisite culinary event and special concert, building on the 30-year legacy of Toronto Taste

Raise a glass and raise funds to fight food insecurity in Canada!
Toronto Taste is now The Rescue Party!
On June 4, 2023, guests indulged in an exquisite culinary experience and special concert featuring Sam Roberts and Serena Ryder. Hosted by Canadian music icon Kardinal Offishall, all in support of Second Harvest!
With dishes from more than 30 of Toronto's most exciting restaurants the Rescue Party was a night of fine dining, music, and elegance all for a good cause.

Proceeds from The Rescue Party were put directly towards food rescue and redistribution through Second Harvest, Canada's largest food rescue organization. While millions of Canadians struggle to put food on the table and the harmful effects of food waste contribute significantly to climate change, it's more important than ever to ensure surplus edible food ends up where it belongs: On plates instead of in landfills.

Ticket prices included unlimited access to signature dishes crafted by Toronto’s most celebrated culinary experts, along with premium wine, spirit, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages.
The Rescue Party was made possible thanks to our generous sponsors
