Bambara Chef Nathan Powers is saddling up. The renowned chef of Bambara Restaurant will join nearly 200 award-winning chefs and industry workers from across the country in Chef Cycle, a 300-mile ride to support efforts to end childhood hunger.
The route winds from Carmel to Santa Barbara, California, from July 27 to 29. Powers is aiming to raise $7,500 for No Kid Hungry, which gets children the food they need by helping parents stretch their grocery budgets. Donations can be made at the following

“We spend a lot of time here in our kitchen making these great meals for our guests, but there are so many people out there – and kids – who can’t afford a basic meal. It’s a true shame, and it’s our responsibility as chefs to draw attention to this, and to help efforts in any way we can to end hunger,” Powers said. “I’m excited to be joining these other chefs from all over the nation.”
Every dollar donated to No Kid Hungry can connect a child with up to 10 meals. Chef Cycle is working to raise $1 million in all for the organization. In addition, during the month of June, Bambara will donate $1 of every pasta dish sold to Chef Powers fundraising efforts.
