Chairman of Chefs Up Front, Colin Knight shares, “We have worked ardently to gather top-notch industry chefs that will really deliver an unparalleled experience to our attendees. It’s a special evening when you have a personal chef craft for you five courses and paired wines. I believe the beauty of Chefs Up Front isto give the gift of knowledge and raise awareness, while simultaneously keeping in mind that moderation is key to a healthy lifestyle, but in some instances it is necessary to indulge.”
