Driven to Dine: Saturday, April 25, 2009
Departure venue to be announced
305-674-3020

Guests at the “Driven to Dine” event on April 25, 2009, will begin their festive evening with a sunset cocktail party. Last year’s event was held at the Indian Creek home of legendary NFL Coach Don and Mary Anne Shula. Participants sipped cocktails, provided by Terlato Wine and Pernod Ricard, and nibbled hors ‘d oeuvres from Le Cordon Bleu and Lyon & Lyon Catering while socializing with friends and enjoying the gracious hospitality of the Shulas. The excitement peaked when the envelopes were drawn containing the destination of the evening’s culinary surprise. The drivers knew, but the guests were still in suspense until they arrived for a delectable, heart healthy, multi-course meal prepared by one of Miami’s top chefs.
