Guests will enjoy a progression of vibrant dishes—from fresh vegetables and seafood to inventive canapés and dessert—all crafted to honor his legacy and the bounty of the Central Coast.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of culinary excellence, community, and purpose, supporting both the Jacques Pépin Foundation and the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience. Proceeds will help advance culinary education and community programming—core missions shared by both organizations.
