Sleigh Food Waste This Holiday Season: A Low-Waste Cooking Demo with Jon Kung

Friday December 12, 2025 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Virtual

The holidays are a time of celebration, joy, and gatherings with family and friends. And with a lot of focus on overconsumption and abundance comes an unpleasant reality—food waste. On Thanksgiving alone, ReFED estimates that 320 million pounds of food will go to waste, equating to $550 million worth of food thrown away in a single day.

But there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit when it comes to wasting less, and these strategies can be easy, practical, and delicious. And as a fun way to get into the holiday season, we’ve enlisted a friend of ReFED to explore some of these culinary techniques.

On December 12, 2025, at 1 pm ET, join ReFED and popular Chinese American chef, content creator, and podcast host Jon Kung for a demonstration on how to minimize food waste and maximize taste this holiday season.

Jon has amassed an online following of more than two million people for his unique style of third culture cooking, blending cultural traditions, flavors, and ingredients that are meaningful and personal to him. Now, he’s bringing that expertise in flavor and low-food waste directly to your computer screen in what is sure to be a fun, lively, and educational session. Don’t wait, register today!
