  • Dim Sum Give Some

    $100.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Apr 13, 2025 only
    12:00 PM
    Off site at 631 E Chicago St, Milwaukee, WI 53202
    Chefs Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite announce Milwaukee’s sixth annual Dim Sum Give Some, the duo’s signature charitable event benefiting the Kennedy’s Disease Association that has become one of the city’s most popular food-driven fundraising initiatives. Affectionally referred to as the “Dans”––Jacobs and Van Rite behind the award-winning EsterEv and DanDan will join forces with 25+ chefs from across the country for a day of incredible culinary talent and charitable giving. Sponsored by OpenTable, Dim Sum Give Some 2025 will take place on Sunday, April 13th from 12-3pm CT at the Italian Community Center of Milwaukee (631 E Chicago St). Chef Dan Jacobs was diagnosed with Kennedy’s Disease in 2016, the same year he opened his first concept, Dandan. This rare neuromuscular disorder, similar to ALS, progressively weakens muscles, impacting movement, speech, swallowing, and fine motor skills. Despite these challenges, Jacobs remains a fierce advocate for chefs with disabilities while running two standout restaurants in Milwaukee; Jacobs and Van Rite earned their sixth James Beard Best Chef Midwest Semifinalist nod for their work at EsterEv this January. “Since my diagnosis, my mission as a chef and restaurateur has evolved into advocating for differently-abled people, particularly in the culinary industry, where physical challenges present significant obstacles,” says Jacobs. “It’s an honor to use our platform as a way to drive awareness and fund research for a cause so close to home.” With the unwavering support of the Milwaukee community, Dim Sum Give Some has raised over $100,000 for Kennedy’s Disease research since its inaugural year in 2017. This year’s event promises to be bigger than ever, with a record-breaking number of participating chefs and restaurants––some of which include Dan Jacobs’ fellow Top Chef contestants––from national destinations including, NYC, Houston, Chicago, Denver, Austin, New Orleans, and Durham, NC.

    The food was excellent as always but the service was terrible. One of our meals never came. They tried to deliver 2 other meals that were not what we ordered. After 35 minutes and the rest of us being done they said it was delivered to the wrong table. We told them we no longer wanted the dish. Our server NEVER checked to see how our meals were or to even see that we got our food. She came over and said that the manager would take the meal off of our bill. Like we should be grateful. Never even apologized. They honestly did not seem to care.

    Wonderful time. We brought a visitor from San Francisco and they were so impressed by the food. I have never had a bad dish at DanDan.

    Excellent food and ambience!!! Had vegan options - very tasty! Server could have been more engaging. We did let them know it was our first time in the restaurant and it was barely acknowledged.

    This was our first experience at DanDan and we've been wanting to go for some time. It certainly did not disappoint! We walked into an fun and energetic atmosphere where you could see an eclectic mix of patrons and staff enjoying the vibe. The service was excellent and the flavors of the food were outstanding! Gotta give the Dan's a shout out for actually creating a crab rangoon that is crab forward! It's about time someone made that happen! The cumin beef, Singapore noodles and beef chow fun were all dynamite! Big flavors and no skimping on the portion size. Very reasonable at the price, so mix in a few tasty cocktails and you're dialed in!
