Spring is in the air, and Southern Belle invites guests to experience the Southeast’s diverse culinary talent during its quarterly “Bless Their Hearts” guest chefs dinner series on Sunday, April 23. This quarter’s dinner traverses the globe uniting flavors of the South with cuisine from Peru, Thailand and Korea.
During each dinner, Southern Belle chef and owner Joey Ward takes guests on a culinary journey with five talented chefs. During the multi-course dinner experience, each chef prepares one course. The dinner includes five featured courses plus an amuse-bouche for $170 per person (service-inclusive; excludes tax). Wine and non-alcoholic pairings are available as well as the restaurant’s full cocktail and beverage list.
A portion of the proceeds from the evening will be donated to No Kid Hungry, an organization that fights against childhood hunger in the United States. To date, the “Bless Their Hearts” dinner series has raised more than $10,000 for No Kid Hungry, making an enormous impact on the nonprofit’s ability to reach more children with healthy meals.
The dinner is limited to 70 guests with seatings between 4:30-8:30 p.m. Reservations can be made online via Resy.
