The Beverly Hills Autumn BBQ is set to return to the city this fall, offering an open-air culinary evening co-hosted by The Maybourne Beverly Hills, Wolfgang Puck’s Spago Beverly Hills, and the City of Beverly Hills. The event brings a "world-class lineup of chefs" to town, each presenting their own take on barbecue.
The BBQ is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 6 to 9 pm. It will take over the grounds of The Maybourne and the adjacent 33,000-square-foot Beverly Cañon Gardens, creating an atmosphere of live cooking stations and pop-up bars amid lush greenery and fountains. The event is presented by United Card Events from Chase.
Attendees can expect a roster of notable talent, including Wolfgang Puck himself from Spago Beverly Hills, alongside Michael Mina of Mina Group, Josiah Citrin from Mélisse and Citrin, and Ray Garcia of Broken Spanish. Also slated to appear are Gino Angelini from Angelini Osteria, Genevieve Gergis of Bavel and Bestia, Burt Bakman from SLAB Barbecue, Adam Perry Lang of APL Restaurant, and Andrew and Michelle Muñoz from Moo's Craft Barbecue. Other chefs include John Tesar from Knife Steakhouse, David Shim of Cote, Antonia Lofaso from Scopa Italian Roots, Suzanne Goin of Lucques and a.o.c., and Jeremy Fox from Rustic Canyon and Birdie G's. It's worth noting that Nancy Silverton, previously announced, is no longer confirmed for the event.
Complementing the food, the beverage offerings will feature cocktail creations from Florería Atlántico, Dante Beverly Hills, and Employees Only NYC.
The evening will benefit No Kid Hungry, a national campaign dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America. The event builds on a $50,000 donation from last year, with 100% of the proceeds from this year’s silent auction directly supporting the cause. The auction will include luxury lots, such as five donated Ferragamo bags.
New this year, United Card Events from Chase will host an exclusive, early-access lounge for United MileagePlus Cardmembers, beginning at 5 pm. Guests in this private space within The Terrace Restaurant and Maybourne Café will enjoy reserved seating, dedicated waiter service, passed Champagne, canapés, and tableside wine pairings.
Throughout the night, attendees can also observe New York-based artist Marco Gallotta as he creates an original paper-cut artwork live in the gardens, demonstrating his intricate technique up close.
Tickets for the Beverly Hills Autumn BBQ are available for $300 (Early Bird) and will be $350 after September 30, plus tax and gratuity. Further details on the full lineup of participants, menu highlights, and ticketing information can be found on The Maybourne website.
