South Florida's newest supper club is already off to a fine start. The Traveling Plate held its first event Wednesday night and served 80 people at Allied Kitchen & Bath. It also -- and perhaps more importantly -- raised $2,500 for ARC Broward Culinary Institute.
And the next event is shaping up to be even more impressive.
On April 5, the Traveling Plate will set up in the Girls' Club Collection gallery in downtown Fort Lauderdale, a fairly amazing venue for a dinner club. The best part, though, is that award-winning Roy Villacrusis will be the guest chef for the night.
Villacrusis agreed this week to help craft the menu, prepare the meal, and be on hand
at the event. "I'll even help with the cleanup," Villacrusis joked (at least, we think he was joking).
