The 42nd Annual Atlantic Cape Restaurant Gala welcomed more than 900 guests to the Harrah’s Waterfront Convention Center on Thursday, March 27, 2025. This year’s theme was Gala Goes Broadway. Over thirty restaurants presented their most elegant dishes for attendees to sample, along with drink pairings, star-studded desserts, and entertainment that couldn’t be beat.
Several well-known names were in attendance for this year’s festivities. Emmy-award winning actor Kelsey Grammer was seen serving up samples of his Faith American Brewing Company, while ACA graduate Kyle Timpson, who recently won season 23 of Hell’s Kitchen, served delicious caviar during the gala’s opening reception.
Since launching in 1984, the Restaurant Gala has raised more than $4.3 million to benefit culinary student scholarships, the student emergency fund, and the Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation. By the end of this years event, over $301,000 was raised in total.
