Monday, September 9th 

Chef Jimmy Everett of Boynton Beach’s Driftwood will host an intimate dinner benefiting the Community Classroom Kitchen (CCK) on Monday, September 9th. Held at the vibrant Hub at Space of Mind in downtown Delray, these intimate gatherings invite guests to explore the innovative space and dive hands-first into culinary creativity. 

Chef Everett will prepare and serve the dinner in a way that allows guests to learn about Florida growers, ask questions and interact directly with the chef, fostering a unique connection between culinary innovators and food enthusiasts. The five-course dinner will feature a variety of Florida ingredients including Florida Royal Red shrimp, prime Quincey Cattle steak, Kai Kai black-eyed peas, local fish and 51/50 chocolate. 

Everett, a South Florida native, honed his skills in some of New York City’s top restaurants, including the acclaimed 11 Madison Park, WD50 and Marea. He traveled the globe from Hong Kong to Los Angeles before returning home. Driftwood was born from the experiences, ideas and passions that Jimmy and his wife Ilia, gained on their Journey.

Proceeds from this dinner support the CCK’s mission to enhance the well-being of South Florida families through the joy of cooking and communal dining. The CCK also hosts hands-on cooking classes for adults and kids along with various other food, art and community-inspired events like family-friendly cook-offs and live music nights. The next Chef’s Table is scheduled for Friday, October 18th with Chef Michael Salmon from Flybrid.
