A night for the people who do what we do. â
â
On June 1, we opened our doors for Industry Night, bringing together the community that makes San Diego hospitality what it is.â
â
Thank you to Tribute Pizza, The Friendly, Wayfarer Bread, Mesa AgrĂcola, Trust Restaurant Group, and TAJ Farms for showing up and sharing your craft.â
â
A chance for those who spend their days and nights creating memorable experiences for others to have one of their own.â
â
Together, we exceeded our goal, raising $5,940 for Feeding San Diego and helping provide nearly 12,000 meals to neighbors facing hunger throughout our community.â
â
A special thank you to our sponsors who helped make the night possible. Swipe to see the businesses whose generosity helped us celebrate this industry while giving back to our community.â
â
Until next time, we'll carry this one with us into the next five. đ

Rooted in the belief that food brings people together, we are endlessly grateful for every guest, every conversation, and every memory made within these walls over the last five years.â

What makes Callie special has never been just the food. Itâs our team, our guests, the farmers, fishers, and purveyors who shape every season, and partners like Feeding San Diego who allow us to give back while doing what we love most.â
â
This recognition belongs to all of you. We remain committed to learning, evolving, and leading with heart and hospitality at the center of everything we do.â
