“We are excited to bring the event to the Alabama Gulf Coast this year. Not only is it a great way to celebrate these talented chefs, but a fantastic opportunity to show off the beauty of Alabama’s beaches. Previous years have brought many visitors into Mississippi to experience this unique event. Sweetest Chefs at the beach is just icing on the cake,” says Angel Lanier-White, project manager and Orange Beach native.
Sweetest Chefs helps provide scholarship dollars for deserving culinary students at the Gulf Coast Culinary Institute at Coastal Alabama Community College. Participating chefs, restaurants and the demonstration stage lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Sweetest Chefs is something I look forward to every year! Creative minds all in one place!” said Brittany Chetham, pastry chef from Birmingham, Alabama.
