Achievement Academy's Board of Directors has moved the "Top Chef of Polk County" event from Monday, April 12th to Monday, May 17th. Due to COVID concerns, the location has changed from the RP Funding Center to participating chefs' restaurants. This format will allow for a safe environment with only 25 guests per restaurant. There will be a limited number of sponsorships available.
Guests will enjoy a three-course meal that includes their chef's signature dish accompanied by a wine or libation that complements the dish's flavors. During the event, there will be an online silent auction. Publix Super Markets Charities is the Exclusive Presenting Sponsor. Participating Chef Sponsor is Horne Construction Inc. Head Chef Sponsors are Citizens Bank & Trust and Pallet Recycle. Sous Chef Sponsors are Lakeland Surgical & Diagnostic Center, LLC, MIDFLORIDA Credit Union, Cannon Automotive Group, Allen & Company and Senator Kelli Stargel. Dessert Sponsor is John and Deborah Weber. Sauté Chef Sponsors are Lakeland Electric, Mulling Insurance Agency, Luke Markham & the law firm of Johnson Pope, Interstate Batteries of Lakeland, Saddle Creek Logistics Services and Summit. Last year, “Top Chef of Polk County” added an exciting partnership between the chefs and community leaders from throughout Polk County. The community leaders will be paired with one of the participating chefs to collaborate on their fundraising efforts in the six weeks leading up to the event. The Chef/Community Leader Team with the highest combined donations from the auction and online donations will be awarded the “Top Philanthropic Chef” and “Top Philanthropic Community Leader,” respectively. A panel of judges will sample each chef’s creation the day of the event to award the “Top Chef of Polk County.” The chef who raises the most funds for Achievement Academy through their donated auction item(s) and online voting will earn the “Top Philanthropic Chef” award. Participating chefs for this year’s event include: Chef Brandon Bailey, The Back Nine Chef Jason Boniface, Cob & Pen Chef Tina Calhoon, Frescos Southern Kitchen & Bar Chef Gene Gelb, Publix Aprons Catering & Cooking School Chef Scott Greenlee, Patio850 Chef Richard Hoert, Terrie Lobb Catering, Inc.
