Description
The American Culinary Federation Palm Beach County Chefs Association will hold its Culinary Creations dinner on June 1, 2015, in the Cohen Pavilion at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. This spectacular dish-centric dinner, inspired by some of the region’s most talented chefs, will benefit Quantum House and The Palm Beach County Chefs in Distress Endowment Fund. Culinary Creations celebrates the extraordinary talents of some of the finest chefs in South Florida, including the event chairperson Chef Jeff Simms. A featured chef at the 2014 Palm Beach Food and Wine Festival, Chef Simms serves as the Executive Chef of Banquets at The Breakers Palm Beach, and is the acting First Vice President of the Palm Beach County Chapter of the American Culinary Federation.
Different from other food and wine events in Palm Beach County, guests can expect the complete package beginning with a marvelous champagne reception featuring delectable hors d ‘oeuvres. The once-in-a-lifetime dinner features four courses served round robin style so guests have the opportunity to experience a dish from each of the twenty-five chefs. The all-star lineup includes:
- High Ridge Country Club Executive Chef Ed Balboni and Executive Sous Chef Ricky Espiritu
- Emerald Dunes Club Executive Chef Edward Dickens
- Mariner Sands Country Club Executive Sous Chef Mitchell J. Pagan
- Country Club of Florida Executive Chef Rob Goodhue
- Boca Grove Plantation Executive Chef Dominick Laudia
- The Breakers Palm Beach Chefs Brandon Brault, Susan Marsh and Matthew Stephens
- Broken Sound Club Executive Chef Joe Longo
- Swiss Chalet Fine Foods Pastry Chef Cassandra Appleman
The “foodie” themed evening flows into the silent auction where guests can bid on private chef dinners, wine tastings and other items that speak to the luxurious side in all of us. The diners will leave with a full stomach and a full heart because 100% of the proceeds from the dinner will benefit deserving charities.
"PNC has a long history of partnering with local organizations like Quantum House and this spectacular culinary event to strengthen and enrich our local communities," said Cressman Bronson, PNC's regional president of Florida East. "At PNC, we understand that a community thrives when businesses pitch in to help under-served families and communities. We're committed to helping build a solid foundation for the future of this local economy. This Culinary Creations dinner is a step in the right direction."
This event is compassionately sponsored by PNC Bank, St. Mary’s Medical Center, Palm Beach Children’s Hospital, FPL and TBC Corporation. Tickets are on sale now with just a handful left.
