Heroes Who Cook 2026

***TEAMS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN AUGUST, AND EVENT TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON SEPT. 1, 2026***
On Sunday, November 1st in Downtown Covington, local "celebrities" (community leaders) team up with top local restaurants to compete to raise the most money for Hope House, and to see who can create the best dish! Event patrons sample all the gourmet creations and vote for their favorites to determine the "People's Choice" award winners, and our panel of guest judges will conduct a blind tasting to determine the "Judges Choice" award winners.
In addition to tastings of each team's featured dish, the event also includes complimentary wine and beer, live music, a silent auction, a live auction, and more!
BEFORE THE EVENT
In the weeks leading up to the big Heroes Who Cook event, our celebrity + restaurant teams will compete to raise money for Hope House by running their own special events and promotions. You can donate online toward your favorite team through Saturday, Oct. 31st to help them win the award for "Most Money Raised for Hope House!"
Every dollar raised will provide hope, healing and justice to local child abuse victims.
Hope House is very grateful to the IJN Foundation (In Jesus' Name) for years of partnership in supporting Heroes Who Cook!
