Men Who Cook is an annual fundraiser run by the Kiwanis Club of Colonial Capital (KCCC). The idea was brought to KCCC by former member Bob Taylor. He felt that bringing together prominent male members of the Williamsburg-area community to offer a sample of their favorite dishes would be a hit and would raise funds to support children in the greater Williamsburg region, while providing a new and different event for community members to participate in, while supporting a worthy cause. That has certainly proved to be the case. Annually, the event brings in some 200 guests to enjoy the culinary delights created by no fewer than twenty-four prominent community members who are also amateur chefs.
This year, Men Who Cook was once again held at the William & Mary’s Randolph A. Mason School of Business, Miller Hall at 101 Ukrop Way, just off Jamestown Rd. There was space to mingle and drinks stations in the lobby and upstairs in Brinkley Commons. Diners had a ball! Tasting choices run from a tasty summer salad, to appetizers, a number of main dishes including Chicken Paella and Chicken Parmesan, and everybody's favorite, our dessert station. Raffle prizes included gift certificates to some great Williamsburg restaurants: Cochon on Second Street, Le Yaca, and Waypoint Seafood and Grill.
Men Who Cook 2026 was another spectacular evening. To fight inflation, this year's tickets remained the same as last year's cost. This fund raiser is a member and guest favorite KCCC event. A good time is had by our cooks and our guests have a fantastic time sampling the cook's offerings. Cooks have already signed up our 2027 event! Tickets will be limited so plan to get yours early.
