This month is The Palm Beaches Restaurant Month and will see the region “serve up” more than meals and great deals at over 130 participating restaurants. The expanded culinary celebration will kick off with a Friends of James Beard Foundation Benefit today at the PGA National Resort, showcasing the talent of two of the county’s celebrity chefs and James Beard Award semifinalists, Chef Jeremy Ford and Chef Lindsay Autry. Discover The Palm Beaches, the tourism marketing organization for Palm Beach County, is also bringing the festivities on the road, with a custom retro airstream trailer set to pop up at several hotspots throughout the destination and in regional drive markets, like Miami.
“It’s exciting to see how participation in this event has expanded from Restaurant Week last year as we showcase the thriving dining scene once again,” said Jorge Pesquera, CEO of Discover The Palm Beaches. “We invite locals and visitors to take advantage of The Palm Beaches Restaurant Month’s deals, discounts and prix fixe menus and dine at your favorite restaurants, or establishments you’ve been waiting to try, throughout our 39 towns and cities that comprise Palm Beach County.”
The Palm Beaches’ culinary scene has something for every palate and price point. During The Palm Beaches Restaurant Month, foodies can savor everything from fresh seafood at a casual waterfront restaurant or choose from the many fine-dining steakhouses and authentic fare representative of the community’s diversity. Those looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience can purchase tickets now for the Palm Beaches Restaurant Month Friends of James Beard Benefit at PGA National Resort. For one night only, attendees will experience a sumptuous evening with a cocktail hour, a multi-course meal, and dessert prepared by Chef Jeremy Ford and Chef Lindsay Autry. Chef Jeremy Ford, known for his win on Bravo’s Top Chef season 13, is executive chef and partner at The Butcher’s Club at PGA National Resort. He recently received a Michelin Star and James Beard Award nomination for his work at his Miami restaurant, Stubborn Seed. Chef Lindsay Autry was a finalist on Bravo’s Top Chef and a three-time James Beard Award nominee for “Best Chef: South” at her beloved eatery, The Regional, and has now opened her newest outpost, Honeybelle at PGA National Resort.
Pesquera adds, “We’re looking forward to highlighting two of our celebrity chefs, who have earned prestigious accolades, during this special event, all for a great cause. All the proceeds will support The Friends of James Beard Foundation as well as Feeding South Florida. Bon Appetit!”
