Supporting Ian Cauble and His Family

Ian Cauble is a dear friend and someone many people know as a teacher, world traveler, familiar face from film and television, and most of all, a devoted family man. In late Spring 2026, Ian was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma cancer. Although Ian and his medical team did everything possible to treat it quickly, the cancer spread to other parts of the body and is now past the treatment phase. This fundraiser has been created to help Ian and his family through this heartbreaking time and to make sure they feel surrounded by love and support.

All contributions will go directly to Ian’s immediate family to help provide comfort and care, ease the financial burden of medical expenses, and support his children’s future. Ian’s impact on the culinary world has been deeply meaningful, and the way Ian has shared a love of life through travel, food, and wine has touched so many people. Ian’s family is deeply grateful for your kindness, generosity, and support. If you are able to give, please consider helping Ian’s family during this incredibly difficult season. Above all, the family also asks that their privacy be respected at this time.

In Ian’s own words from the film SOMM:

“How often do we stop and smell and breathe and appreciate what’s there…”
