This special event is hosted KCUR’s Generation Listen Council, which exists to connect young listeners to the people, places and things that make Kansas City an exciting place to be.

True to the mission, Family Dinner celebrates the local chefs and producers behind the city’s legendary food scene, and public radio for telling these important regional stories.

Family Dinner invites supporters to share a meal and connect over the importance of free, independent journalism for the region.
