A night market featuring food from various local Asian American and Pacific Islander chefs is planned for Saturday, May 20 at The Wharf.

The ticketed event is hosted by Kevin Tien, the chef behind the modern Vietnamese restaurant, Moon Rabbit, and co-founder of the campaign, Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate. The stated goal is to celebrate the local AAPI community through food during AAPI heritage month. They also expect to have live music, plus other unnamed surprises.

The market is called Everything, Everyone, All the Food at Once Fest, a play on the critically-acclaimed movie that was also celebrated for its representation of the Asian community. Organizers say the daylong event is the first of its kind on the Southwest waterfront, and the Moon Rabbit team hopes to keep it going in subsequent years. It will take over the District Pier at the Wharf, the development’s largest pier that extends into the Washington Channel.

Tien will prepare food, along with Tim Ma of Lucky Danger, Victoria Lai of Ice Cream Jubilee, Julie Cortes of Kaliwa, Patrice Cunningham of Tae-Gu Kimchi, Scott Chung of Bun’d Up and Sparrow Room, and Jerome Grant of Mahal, and others. The event promises to showcase at least 18 regional chefs.

The market runs from 2 p.m.-5:30 p.m., and then again at 6:30 p.m.-10 p.m. People can purchase a ticket for $20 to access the market for one of those time slots. Attendees will then purchase beverages and food separately from individual vendors.

All ages are welcomed, but anyone over the age of 21 and interested in drinking alcohol can get a wristband if they show valid ID. Organizers say they’ll host the market rain or shine because it will be under a large tent.

Tien is also hosting a ticketed dinner the day before the market, which will feature AAPI chefs from all over the country: Erik Bruner-Yang of Maketto based in D.C.; Ni and Anna Nguyen of sắp sửa based in Denver; Timon Balloo of The Katherine based in Miami; Christine Lau of The CLAU Group based in New York City; Nini Nguyen based in New Orleans; Palita Sriratana of Pink Salt based in Chicago; and Shuai Wang of Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ based in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Each cook will prepare a dish for the several-course dinner — Wang is expected to make Malay fish curry and balloo, Thai-style smoked pork shoulder, for example. The seated dinner will happen on District Pier and go from 6:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Tickets are $350 per person. The events will benefit Tien’s charity, Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate and Rise Now, with organizers hoping to donate $10,000 to each.
