BCAGlobal Announces Honorees and Final Round of Menus at Food and Wine Experience

 * LAST WEEK FOR TICKETS 

NEW YORK, NY: Building a broader platform for diversity in the culinary and hospitality industries is the spirit behind BCAGlobal’s 14th Annual Global Food & Wine Experience that will take place on Friday October 19th at Guastavinos 409 E. 59th Street in NYC from 7 PM to 10:30 PM.

This year’s 2018 Vision Award will be presented to Ana Ortega from Empire Merchants. A Native of Colombia her story of survival and tenacity to build career success in the Wine and Spirit Industry is an example for every young Hispanic woman in America.

The 2018 Jefferson Evans Award in Culinary excellence will be presented to Chef Winston Chiu the Culinary Director of the non-profit, ReThink Food NYC Inc. This innovative organization has taken on the issues of solving hunger and excess food waste.

This important evening is the only event in the country celebrating diversity, using the food and beverage industry as a nexus to bring people together. The realization that the act of sharing and consuming food and beverage has become detached from its traditional cultural contexts has emerged. The purpose is to reconnect food to cultural heritage and the community, through social nourishment in the context of “Enjoying Responsibly”.
