Nick Cannon Joins Celeb Chefs for ‘Harlem Serves Up!’ TV Fundraiser
taniavolobueva/ShutterstockNick Cannon and a host of celebrity chefs and musicians team up for “Harlem Serves Up!,” a TV special dedicated to supporting Harlem’s BIPOC restaurants.
For the past five years, the nonprofit organization “Harlem EatUp!” has held an annual food festival to support Harlem businesses and restaurants. This year, however, the event was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of an in-person gathering, the organization will now host a one-hour TV fundraiser featuring special guest Nick Cannon.
Just finished a great fundraiser in our community called Harlem Serves Up! Focused on Minority owned Businesses and restaurants! ✊🏿 https://t.co/LyVC8d38lb

Like the original festivals, the goal of the TV fundraiser is to showcase Harlem’s talent and prompt donations to help fight food insecurity and support struggling businesses. The show will include celebrity chef cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and stories from some of Harlem’s best restaurants.
