WHERE: PGA National Resort
Discover The Palm Beaches and the PGA National Resort hosted a Friends of James Beard Benefit Dinner on Aug. 2 to kick off The Palm Beaches Restaurant Month. Chef Lindsay Autry and Chef Jeremy Ford, both James Beard Award semifinalists, prepared unique and delectable dishes for the sold-out dinner, which raised $7,500 for the James Beard Foundation to support restaurant industry programs and initiatives, and $7,500 for Feeding South Florida, which will help provide the equivalent of 67,500 meals for the local community. The James Beard Foundation is a nonprofit organization that celebrates and supports the people behind America’s food culture, while pushing for new standards in the restaurant industry to create a future where all have the opportunity to thrive.
