Heart Of A Chef!! Event Details and a GIVEAWAY!

The Heart of A Chef fundraiser is making its return to the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden on Sunday, April 28, 2013, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. This family-friendly food festival focuses on the education and prevention of childhood obesity. This event will benefit the Florida Heart Research Institute, an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to stopping heart disease through research, education and prevention.

 

In addition to food and wine tastings and educational seminars, there will be a kick ass culinary battle between two of Miami's hottest (and most talented) chefs. The chefs that are going to battle it out include Chef Todd Erickson from Haven Gastro-Lounge and Chef Aaron Brooks from Edge Steak and Bar. I will be one of the lucky judges at this culinary battle, which I'm sure is going to be one heck of a difficult decision.

In addition to the professional chefs' battle, there will be a high school cook-off featuring star student chefs from John A. Ferguson Senior High School and returning championship school, Coral Gables Senior High School. Having completed a high school culinary program myself (many, MANY moons ago), I'm particularly excited for this event.
