Feast was honored in so many ways to be part of the Careers through Culinary Arts Program (, ) or CCAP’s Philly Pheast where a community gathered together to celebrate CCAP students, the culinary world of the past, present, and the future, and to honor our founding chef, Chef Lynn Buono (lynnie_buo).
Feast joined up with fellow Philly catering stalwarts, , , and , to delight students, guests, and friends of Lynn with a curated meal full of love. We were able to meet the culinary leaders of tomorrow and share in their dreams of their tomorrows.
The night was also about Lynn. There are many words to describe Lynn: chef, leader, educator, culinary artist. The one we love: groundbreaker. Over 4 decades ago, Lynn launched Feast to showcase her love of food and hospitality that reached so many people throughout Philly. In those 40+ years, Lynn built a successful women-owned business, and led a movement that helped shape Philly catering and put an indelible mark on Philly’s food scene.
We are here because of Lynn. And, we, alongside countless guests, employees, partners, and friends raise a glass and a hearty and heartfelt helping of Feast’s famous short ribs to Lynn.
