Sprouts hosted its annual spring fundraising gala at Mister Jiu’s in Chinatown. The sold-out dinner celebrated San Francisco’s vibrant culinary scene, and the inspiring graduates of the Sprouts Chef Training Program. Sprouts is a Bay Area nonprofit which enables youth to rise from hardship through culinary training and job placement.
