We are sorry to announce that Have an Offal Day has been cancelled by the organizers due to low ticket sales. If you would still like to support Food Literacy Center and our important work, please donate today!

Hosted in a beautiful backyard oasis in the Arden area.

There’s more to animals than ribs and steaks. Plenty of people from all cultures use the complete animal – nose to tail. Offal is the term for all those “other” parts: organs, feet, tongues, ears, skin, etc.

Calling all food adventurers!
Join us as some of the best chefs in Sacramento prepare offal dishes which will surprise and delight you.
