K restaurant chef and owner Kevin Fonzo is calling on some of his friends to help throw a party at the popular College Park dining destination in celebration of its 15th anniversary. And if you know anything about Fonzo’s friends, that means a lot of good food, wine and cocktails.
The celebration will be in the form of a backyard party — K occupies a structure that was once a house whose backyard has been converted to a herb and produce sourcing garden for the restaurant — on Sunday, April 24, from 2 to 7 p.m. Joining the acclaimed chef will be other acclaimed chefs, including Kathleen Blake, The Rusty Spoon; James and Julie Petrakis, Cask & Larder, Ravenous Pig; Greg Ritchie, Soco, Baoery; Austin Boyd, Seito Sushi; Jamie McFadden, Cuisiniers Catered Cuisine and Events; and Henry and Michelle Salgado, The Spanish River Grill. Each will prepare something for guests to nibble on.
There will be wines, courtesy of Kinda K. Sullivan of Noble Wine, beer courtesy of Swamp Head Brewery, and cocktails courtesy of The Courtesy Bar. Tickets are $115 with $15 of each ticket going to the Kevin Fonzo Foundation. To reserve tickets — it isn’t a large backyard, so don’t wait — call the restaurant at 407-872-2332.
