This year’s theme, FROM STREET TO CHIC, takes inspiration from the incredible street foods found around the world and gives them an unexpected, sophisticated twist. Think familiar flavors, global favorites and street-food classics completely reimagined and elevated into beautifully presented culinary creations.

And this is definitely not your typical sit-down dinner.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be invited to explore the Academy as its kitchens open their doors for the evening. Wander from kitchen to kitchen, discovering a different culinary experience at every stop. Meet the talented students and chefs behind the food, sample an incredible variety of dishes and enjoy returning favorites—including the always-popular charcuterie displays—along with plenty of surprises created especially for this year’s event.

Throughout the evening, exceptional wines and live music will complement the experience, creating the perfect atmosphere for an evening designed to be explored, tasted and enjoyed at your own pace.

This Year's Special Honoree of the Culinary Excellence Award
We are especially excited to welcome Chef Kyle Timpson, winner of Season 23 of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen and Special Honoree of the Culinary Excellence Award.

And this homecoming is particularly meaningful: Kyle is a graduate of Atlantic Cape’s own Academy of Culinary Arts. From these very kitchens to winning one of television’s most demanding culinary competitions, his story is an extraordinary example of where talent, education, determination and opportunity can lead.

Guests will have a special opportunity to experience Kyle’s talent and personality as part of the evening’s festivities—with a few details still being saved as a surprise.

And Then...There's Dessert.
Just when you think the evening couldn’t possibly offer anything more, the doors open to the dessert room.

If you’ve experienced it before, you already know.

If you haven’t… prepare yourself.

This spectacular finale has become one of the most talked-about parts of the entire evening. An enormous room is transformed into a dessert lover’s dream, overflowing with an almost unimaginable assortment of cakes, pies, cookies, macarons, pastries, ice cream, confections and creations that seem to go on forever.

It isn’t simply dessert. It’s a destination.

And because we know you may have already sampled your way through an entire building of incredible food, there’s no need to choose between enjoying dessert now or saving it for later. Guests are provided with a take-home container so you can select some favorites to enjoy after the evening is over.

Our recommendation? Do a little of both.

Eat Well. Drink Well. Do Good.
As extraordinary as the food is, this evening has an even greater purpose.

Proceeds support the students of Atlantic Cape’s Academy of Culinary Arts and help provide opportunities and resources that can have a lasting impact on their education and careers.

Guests and supporters can take that impact even further through special sponsorship opportunities—from helping provide a student with a professional knife kit to supporting extraordinary educational experiences such as culinary travel to Italy.

It’s a chance to enjoy an exceptional evening while investing directly in the chefs and hospitality professionals of tomorrow.

FROM STREET TO CHIC is part culinary adventure, part celebration and part opportunity to make a difference.

Come hungry.

Come curious.

And whatever you do… save room for dessert.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to making our events so special.

Vive La Chaine!
