If you haven’t bought tickets to this year’s Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, which runs from Dec. 7-10, you’ve likely missed the chance to see Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud create a five-course dinner with his friend Marcello Fiorentino at Marcello’s La Sirena restaurant in West Palm Beach.

You’ll also miss a multicourse dinner prepared in Palm Beach by the great Southern chef Ashley Christensen and the chance to attend one of the festival’s most popular dinners, hosted by Buccan chef Clay Conley. This year, he’s cooking with national star chefs Stephanie Izard, Ken Oringer and Joe Flamm.

But there are still tickets to star-powered festival events featuring big names in the culinary world, such as the iconic chef Larry Forgione, known as the “godfather of American cuisine”.

Forgione will be cooking alongside his famous-chef sons Marc Forgione and Bryan Forgione at the four-course “Frank and the Forgiones” lunch at Café Chardonnay in Palm Beach Gardens on Friday, Dec. 8 ($175 per person).

Thanks to the release of extra tickets on Cyber ​​Monday, some events previously marked as “sold out” became accessible, says festival director and co-founder David Sabin.
