The brainchild of Councilwoman Davis, last year’s event was masterfully executed with style and class by her production team, and in its first year, brought delicious and surprising results with over 600 South Florida residents in attendance. Making their way from Homestead and even West Palm Beach, attendees were treated to tastings, educational seminars, and competitions that brought out the best in local “chef-lebrities”!
