The Story Behind Dim Sum + Give Some: Chef Dan Jacobs was diagnosed with Kennedy’s Disease in 2016 as he was gearing up to open his restaurant, DanDan in Milwaukee. Kennedy's Disease is a very progressive genetic neuromuscular disease that is often mistaken for ALS; those who have it are likely to lose the ability to walk and talk. Jacobs' diagnosis inspired the creation of Dim Sum + Give Some, a charitable event that brings dozens of chefs together for a one-day only food festival in Milwaukee where all proceeds go to the Kennedy's Disease Association. In its second year, chefs Jacobs and Van Rite hope to surpass the $25,000 raised at last year’s event.
