The much-anticipated event to debut a new format at world’s first Guitar Hotel in January 2020

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood announces it will host the sixth annual Culinary Kickoff™ January 30, 2020 to benefit the Culinary Kickoff™ Scholarship Fund at The Culinary Institute of America.

The notable chefs, paired with elite wineries, and celebrities, celebrate this event each year to help raise money for the Culinary Kickoff™ Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships for future culinarians and is designed to develop culinary artistry, creativity, and excellence in students during their college studies.

This year, in lieu of a sit-down dinner, host chefs will be helming individual culinary stations offering two versions of a dish. Each station will include a pairing with wine partners including: Silver Oak, Twomey, Charles Woodson, JaM Cellars, John Anthony Vineyards, Hogwash Rose, JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset.
