ARC Broward partnered with Chef Scott Conant for their fifth annual Delish event which took Place on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at The Gallery of Amazing Things in Hollywood, Florida. Sponsored by PNC Bank, Delish brings together the best and brightest South Florida based chefs, wine, and spirits in a unique tasting event for over 500 guests.
Proceeds from Delish benefit ARC Broward and the ARC Broward Culinary Institute, which provides culinary training and job placement assistance for people with disabilities and life challenges. The ARC Broward Culinary Institute also encompasses a nonprofit catering service for students to obtain real world on-the-job experience. Revenues generated from the catering services directly support job training, placement and student scholarships.
On his motivation to get involved with Delish, Conant explains, “ARC Broward’s Delish 2016 is bringing together some of South Florida’s top chefs to work alongside the next generation of culinary talent from the ARC Broward Culinary Institute. I’m honored to serve as this year’s Honorary Chef Chair and look forward to selecting the winning team for Most Delish Dish.”
“We are excited to have Food Network Star Scott Conant as this year’s Honorary Chef Chair,” says Dennis Haas, ARC Broward President and CEO, “the Honorary Chef Chair and participating guest chefs bring an unforgettable element to this event. Attendees love watching the ARC Broward Culinary Institute students compete alongside some of South Florida’s finest chefs. And for the students, it’s an experience that will last a lifetime.”
