Ocean Social by Chef Tristen Epps Shines Spotlight on Women in Culinary to Celebrate Woman’s History Month
In honor of International Women’s History Month, Ocean Social by Chef Tristen Epps at the iconic Eden Roc Miami Beach is hosting an extraordinary evening to celebrate and shine the spotlight on several of South Florida’s top women chefs making history of their own. Chefs Eileen Andrade (FINKA Table & Tap), Paula DaSilva (The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale), Dania Ortez (The Confidante Miami Beach), Antonia Grandberry (Ocean Social by Chef Tristen Epps), and Amaris Jones (Chick N’ Jones) will be in residence at the signature restaurant on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, to join forces and create a special five-course tasting dinner that showcases the depth and diversity of women in the culinary field today.
Choosing to stay out of the spotlight for this dinner, Chef Tristen Epps, who serves as executive chef for the property and recently revamped the menu at his namesake restaurant, will serve as coordinator for the evening and may assist on the line with the hotel’s talented pastry chef Antonia Grandberry. “Honoring women and their contributions to society – especially in the culinary space – is baked into my DNA. I wanted to provide a forum for great food and dialogue about women in culinary to celebrate the incredible talent in South Florida restaurants that just so happen to be female,” says Epps.
The evening will kick off at 6 PM with a cocktail hour featuring a specialty Beluga Vodka and lavender cocktail, followed by a five-course dinner at 7 PM prepared by the guest chefs who will create one course each. Dinner will be complemented by select wines and cocktails and is priced at $165 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. Reservations are required for the limited seating experience and can be reserved – HERE. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Pace Center for Girls Miami, which provides girls and young women opportunities for a better future through education, counseling, training, and advocacy and envisions a world where all girls and young women have power in a just and equitable society.
Ocean Social by Chef Tristen Epps is located at 4525 Collins Avenue at the Eden Roc Miami Beach. Valet parking is available. For more information, visit www.edenrochotelmiami.com.
