EAT YOUR GREENS (LOTS OF THEM), COURTESY OF OUR TOP CHEFS
The inaugural Vegan Festival & Competition on Nov. 18 will paint Venue Naples with every shade of the plant rainbow and support two worthy causes in the process.
Going green for the day has never been so chic—or tasty.
With the help of organizer Michelle Stephens, top chefs throughout the Naples area will band together on Sunday, Nov. 18, for the inaugural Vegan Festival & Competition, a food fair and friendly culinary showdown at the stylish Venue Naples event space.
Chef Brian Roland and his molecular gastronomy-inclined Crave Culinaire team will of course be on the roster (the site, after all, is their home base). Joining them are a bevy of local talents—ones you may expect, such as Raw Delicious, but most from outside the solely plant-based box, such as Kareem’s Lebanese Kitchen, Pelagos Café, Epiphany Gluten-Free Bakery and the new Yana Eats. That was the point—and the beauty—of what Stephens envisioned.
