More than great food

PARC’s Top Chefs event on Sept. 15 is a fun, food-filled event for a good cause.

Chefs from restaurants like Birch & Vine and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar are paired with students from PARC’s Culinary Program, which provides training to equip people with disabilities with culinary skills.

Many program participants have landed jobs in the food industry with companies like Earth Fare and Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital.

Tickets are $125 to the event, held at The Birchwood in St. Petersburg, and guests can indulge in desserts, visit the open bar and enter a raffle for restaurant gift cards.
