In the world of food and storytelling, four chefs emerge as captivating characters. Antonia Lofaso, known for her roles on Food Network hits like Guy’s Grocery Games, Tournament of Champions, and Cutthroat Kitchen, is not only a beloved chef but also the Executive Chef and Owner of three remarkable restaurants in California. Michael Jenkins, a champion in TV shows like Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen, two-time winner of The South Beach Food & Wine Festival’s Burger Bash, and now executive chef at Butter Restaurant, tells a tale of culinary triumph. Aaron May, a Food Network regular, brings his charismatic presence to Guy's Grocery Games, Guy’s Ranch Kitchen, and Tournament of Champions.
Last but not least, Chef Sezer Deniz, at the helm of Miami's Area 31, is known for his devotion to sourcing local ingredients. These culinary storytellers will unite for one-night-only to create a menu with a rich tapestry of flavors and invite you to be part of their culinary family.
