“It is a great honor to host our ‘Meet the Chefs’ event to help increase awareness of the hunger and poverty issue that exists for children throughout Dallas,” said Dr. Latame Phillips, CEO of Hunger Busters. “Throughout history, many major decisions have been made while ‘breaking bread’ around the dinner table.
