PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia's food scene is getting ready to shine brightly on April 29th as the Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) brings back its annual Philly Pheast benefit. This evening promises exceptional food and a vibrant atmosphere and supports an essential cause: nurturing the next generation of culinary talent.
C-CAP, a workforce development nonprofit, empowers underserved youth nationwide with culinary skills, job readiness, and pathways to higher education. The Philadelphia region's C-CAP works with 1,800 students across 22 high schools, making a significant impact.
Philly Pheast uniquely blends the talents of renowned chefs and ambitious C-CAP students. The evening begins with a cocktail hour featuring live music and exquisite hors d'oeuvres. This year's exciting twist? Each appetizer results from a collaboration between a C-CAP alum chef and a student from their former high school.
The culinary journey continues with a multi-course, family-style dinner showcasing the artistry of top Philadelphia chefs Dionicio Jimenez (Cantina La Martina), Justine Macneil, and Ed Crochet (Fiore Fine Foods), and Treley Parshingtsang (White Yak).
Philly Pheast includes a silent auction filled with fantastic prizes. Bid on incredible experiences like a 7-course chef's dinner, Omakase seats, Eagles tickets, "Best of Philly" packages, and even a chance to be a guest judge at a future C-CAP Cooking Competition for Scholarships!
C-CAP's commitment to student success culminates in the awards ceremony, where students who excelled in the 2024 scholarship competition receive funds to fuel their culinary dreams at prestigious institutions.
