When things get tough, we band together! On Jan. 15, Chef Jose Salazar is bringing Asheville’s own Chef William S. Dissen (), dubbed “the most sustainable chef on the planet” by Gordon Ramsay, to Mita's Cincinnati for a very special evening.

Chef Dissen, owner of The Market Place Restaurant and other renowned North Carolina restaurants, has been a champion of farm-to-table dining and sustainability for years, - but after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina in September, the vibrant hospitality industry that previously fueled the region has been struggling to recover.

This fundraising dinner is a chance to come together as a community and support Chef Dissen in his mission to rebuild. Proceeds will help cover critical repairs, payroll, and recovery efforts for his restaurants. Reserve your seat today, and join us in lifting up a culinary leader who has given so much to his community. ❤️

Read more about Chef Dissen’s story and the impact of Hurricane Helene in Keith Pandolfi's powerful article in the Enquirer - Cincinnati and Kentucky at this link: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/dining/2025/01/03/asheville-market-place-chef-william-dissen-hurricane-helene-dinner-mitas/77353913007/
