After hosting a down-on-the-farm luncheon last month during the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, Swank Specialty Produce—a resource treasured by and associated with numerous South Florida chefs—is featuring its second chef-driven luncheon of the season on Jan. 12.
As always, the event will include a tour of the hydroponic growing houses at Loxahatchee-based Swank—and a bountiful spread prepared and served alfresco by notable area chefs who’ll incorporate into their dishes Swank’s acclaimed produce and ingredients
supplied by Florida ranchers, seafood purveyors, wine-makers and more.
Last month’s lunch affair at Swank featured James Beard Award-winning chefs and such Palm Beach County-based chefs as Lindsay Autry, a former finalist on Bravo TV’s “Top Chef,” and The Four Seasons’ Darryl Moiles.
The chef brigade on tap for Jan. 12’s noon-4 p.m. luncheon ($155 a person; for reservations, call 202-5648 or visit www.swankspecialtyproduce.com) hails from Broward and Miami-Dade counties—Richard Hales, Aaron Brooks and Huma Nagi—plus Palm Beach County’s Nick Morfogen of 32 East in Delray Beach.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Historical Society of Palm Beach County.
