Three Chefs. One Night. Infinite Flavor.

The lineup reads like a culinary dream team:

• Chef Steven Richard, Executive Chef of Paddlefish and the host of the evening.

• Chef Justice Placeres, the visionary behind Otto’s High Dive, the MICHELIN Bib Gourmand Cuban rum bar everyone’s raving about.

• Chef Michael Collantes, chef-owner of Soseki Modern Omakase, one of Orlando’s most prestigious MICHELIN-starred gems.

But there’s more than Michelin stars and accolades on the line—this night is personal. Both Placeres and Collantes trained under Chef Steven early in their careers, making this collaboration a heartfelt homecoming. It’s a toast to mentorship, evolution, and a shared love for pushing the plate forward.
