The African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida’s 2011 Eagle Award Ceremony lived up to its theme, “Soar Higher,” at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
The annual ceremony recognizes the achievements and leadership of local African American businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as the diversity initiatives of corporations and organizations.
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Title Sponsor of the event, soared above and beyond the typical banquet. Sixteen African American chefs gathered from different areas across Walt Disney World to create a special culinary experience. The chefs recreated dishes that reminded them of their favorite meal growing up and represented their cultural roots.
“When I ask the chefs to develop food from their childhood memories you can see the pride that they display thru their creativity,” stated Jerry Kuchinskas, Catering Chef De Cuisine at Walt Disney World. “Their memories are transformed into one of the finest culinary events that I have ever hosted.”
