chefrandal April 18th, 2008
Chef Randal headed the team of Cypress Gardens Adventure Park at the annual Bacchus Bash in Orlando on the 11th of April. The yearly event, held by the CFHLA (Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association) raises funds for hospitality student scholarships.
The outdoor Orlando Premium Outlet mall at the end of International Drive was packed with vendors from top area restaurants and resorts. There were belly dancers, stilt walkers, and decorating the Cypress Gardens booth like southern magnolias, the Cypress Gardens Belles, with their hooped dresses and fluffy parasols.
CFHLA raised more money than anticpated and the Chef and his team walked away with Best Menu Item (Carpetbaggers), Best Decorated Booth and Most Entertaining/Interactive Booth. Photos and further information on the Bacchus Bash can be obtained from CFHLA.org .
