Guest Chef Night at Second Harvest

Second Harvest Food Bank's much-loved Chef’s Night series returns this month with a special feast prepared by James Messinger, Corporate Executive Chef of Seasons 52.

Held on Monday, March 20, 2017 from 6pm – 9pm at Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, the event gives guests a chance to support a stellar local non-profit while enjoying a delicious five-course meal. 

Chef Messinger and his team at Seasons 52 will donate their time, talent and resources to provide guests with the full, five-star dinner experience, including wine and two signature desserts.

 

All proceeds from this event benefit Second Harvest’s Culinary Training Program, which provides students with the skills and inspiration they need to obtain an entry-level position in a food-service establishment.

The “Year of the Steak” series, which runs through May, features local chefs and restaurants who have a “steak” in our community. The next event will feature Ruth’s Chris. More details pending.
