Philanthropic foodies of Florida are celebrating as the 33rd Annual Festival of Chefs returns to Miami this month with an evening of intimate dining from some of the region’s best chefs. The premier culinary event benefits the Easterseals South Florida Culinary Arts High School, which provides vocational training for students living with autism and other challenges and disabilities.
The 33rd Annual Festival of Chefs takes place on January 11, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and a range of ticket and sponsorship options are still available at www.easterseals.com/southflorida.
The annual event attracts up to 700 food, wine, and spirits enthusiasts to sample the culinary offerings from some of South Florida’s hottest chefs and restaurants. Chef Jose Mendin will serve as this year’s Event Chef Chair while Kelly Blanco will serve as Event Emcee.
The Festival of Chefs benefits the Easterseals South Florida Culinary Arts High School. For over 20 years, the school has provided vocational training for students aged 14 to 22 who live with autism and other developmental disabilities. The school aims to provide these students with the training, skills, and job placement assistance necessary to find success in life.
The highlight of every Festival of Chefs is when the Easterseals culinary students proudly show off their skills with a signature dish presented to attendees.
