Our recent James Beard Foundation Fall Harvest Dinner at Michael's St. Augustine was truly an evening to remember!


Presented by the Viva Hospitality in partnership with the James Beard Foundation, and sponsored by Bozard Ford Lincoln, this special event, "Rooted in Excellence", brought together delectable food, warm hospitality, and big, big hearts to benefit Pie in the Sky, helping us continue our mission to feed hungry seniors right here in St. Johns County.
Guests enjoyed a remarkable evening celebrating the art of culinary excellence while supporting meaningful local impact. The dinner featured inspired dishes crafted by talented chefs from La Nouvelle STA, Michael's St. Augustine, and Pesca Rooftop, each plate a reflection of the community’s generosity and shared commitment to make our community stronger and kinder.
Kodus to the incredible chefs who tantalized our taste buds including Michael Lugo, Matthieu "Frenchy" Landillion, Henry Salgado, Natasha Olivera, Josh Agan and Intan Sari-Agan! We are still dreaming of your creations!
