Two Florida chefs, including one from Tampa Bay, are part of the James Beard Foundation’s upcoming Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Immersive as well as intensive, the Chefs Boot Camp, now in its 11th year, will bring Greg Baker of Seminole Heights’ Refinery and Fodder & Shine, Jose Mendin of Miami’s Pubbelly Restaurant Group, and 13 other chefs from around the country together to learn, explore and, of course, cook. Georgia’s Inn at Serenbe is set to host the JBF program for the first time from March 12 to 14.
