This one-night celebration brings together food enthusiasts and restaurateurs for an evening highlighting some of the best culinary talent along Florida’s Treasure Coast. Guests will sample chef-prepared bites from ten hand-selected local restaurants, cast their vote for the People’s Choice favorite, and cheer on this year’s winners in the categories of Top 10 Best Dishes, Chef of the Year, and Restaurant of the Year.
Participating restaurants include:
Butter Cup Bakery Café, Counter Culture Beachside, Daddy’s Donuts, Dinner Revolution, Island Pig & Fish, Mai Thai Bistro, Padel Grille, Quik Snak, Taj Mahal Masala, and Tequila Azteca Mexican Restaurant.
As part of its community commitment, a portion of event proceeds will benefit The Food Pantry of Indian River County, the largest food pantry in the county, serving the disadvantaged, unemployed, and underemployed since 1987. The event will also be supported by Indian River State College Culinary Arts students, offering them hands-on experience alongside area professionals.
