The stars, both on the screen and in the skies, will be out for a red carpet-worthy gourmet experience on Feb. 28, when Swank Specialty Produce will be the hottest spot around for viewing the Oscars viewing during its Swank Table event, “The Envelope Please…,” benefiting the Palm Beach International Film Festival.
The season’s top ticket for gourmands and foodies alike begins at 4 p.m., with farm-to-table food courses served from the area’s top chefs, including Josh Thomsen, executive chef at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa; Nick Martinkovic, executive chef for Jereve at Emko; Michael Hackman, chef and owner of Aioli; and Robert Bellini, pastry chef at Eau Palm Beach.
Additional guests for the evening include Buccan manager Ryan Zemmel and Stephanie Miskew, sommelier for the Glamorous Gourmet and the Wine Atelier in Delray Beach. The fresh, multicourse meal will be accompanied by samples from craft brewer A Barrel of Monks Brewery.
Known for bright vegetables, exquisite greens and fragrant herbs, Swank Specialty Produce in Loxahatchee Groves is a favorite for all produce stands, top chefs and shoppers seeking the best of farm-to-table produce.
Swank Table guests enjoy an al fresco dinner in Swank’s own fields of green. A tour of the hydroponic farms followed by a meal hand-crafted before diners’ eyes is included in this sensational, sensory evening. Following the fine dining, guests will stay to enjoy a live screening of the Oscars.
The evening begins at 4 p.m. and will last until 8 p.m. rain or shine, with the screening to follow. Tickets are $160 per adult, and proceeds benefit the Palm Beach International Film Festival. Entering its 21st year, the film festival hosts new movies from the United States and around the world, including more than 100 narrative features, documentaries, shorts and music videos. This year’s festival runs April 6-14.
