About this Event
Talented local chefs - each hand-selected by the event's Lead Chef Philip Speer of Comedor and Garage Pizza - will each offer their elevated, fine-dining spin on a beloved Whataburger classic. Sample them all at this unforgettable night with the Central Texas Food Bank, supporting food access in our community.
Paired with a hosted bar featuring signature cocktails and mocktails, Hill Country winery tastings in celebration of Texas Wine Month, and a room full of great company, we invite you to browse our unique culinary stations at your leisure, converse at cocktail tables while enjoying the ambiance, and get a unique behind-the-scenes look at the CTFB facility.
Whatanight is equal parts dinner party, culinary showcase, and celebration, all in support of CTFB's mission to increase food access in Central Texas. Join us for an elevated high-energy culinary experience at the Central Texas Food Bank this October 15, 2026.
