Celebrity Chef Donatella Arpaia Kicks Off Charity-Benefit ‘Tour of Kitchens’ This Saturday in Coral Gables

CORAL GABLES, FL – About a thousand foodies, designers and architects will descend upon the most magnificent homes in Coral Gables this Saturday, led by Celebrity Chef Donatella Arpaia, to explore every nosh and every nook in ten residences that have earned the ‘City Beautiful’ moniker for this municipality. 

Chef Donatella strongly supports the charitable mission of the Coral Gables Community Foundation and its Culinary Arts Fund for high school students in Coral Gables.  She recently strutted her design and culinary cred in launching Noma Beach at Redfish late last year, is a memorable judge on The Food Network’s Iron Chef America and The Next Iron Chef.
