10 Things to Look Forward to at Paradise Plates 18

For one night only, on Saturday, September 29th in the Atlantis Imperial Ballroom, 40+ of the island’s top chefs and beverage purveyors will prepare the best of their culinary and cocktail creations. It’s truly is a night not to be missed. Here’s what you can look forward to for the 2018 Paradise Plates!

THE FOOD

No surprise here.  Paradise Plates is the premier foodie event in The Bahamas. Nowhere else can you sample the culinary creations of dozens of the country’s top chefs, all in one room. Ever had Infused Watermelon and Lobster Gazpacho? Dragon Fruit Ceviche? Salmon Tataki with Bahamian Salsa? You can get all this and more at Paradise Plates.

THE DRINKS

A perfectly mixed cocktail is a thing of beauty. At Paradise Plates, we’re bringing the best mixologists, brewers and vintners to ensure that each sip you take dances on your tongue.

THE PARTY

Speaking of dancing…people are still talking about how lit the dance floor was in 2017 and DJ Ignite has no plans to turn it down this year! Dance the night away with the DJ, live music and a Junkanoo rush out. We’ll finish the night off with an after party in Aura Nightclub (Paradise Plates Guests – Ladies Free, Gents $25 )!

THE MERCHANDISE

As a Paradise Plates guest, you already show that you care about making The Bahamas a better place for those in need. Show your support year round and check out brand new H4H gear at our booth.

THE SCAVENGER HUNT

As if the night isn’t already jammed pack with excitement, we’ve added another element of fun to the event. Our photo scavenger hunt will take you on a Paradise Plates adventure, challenging guests to capture some of the top “must-do” activities of the night. The best part – the winner takes home a prize! Stop by the H4H Booth for more info.

THE PRIZES

Prizes, prizes and more prizes! In addition to the food, drinks, and spectacular party, guests have the opportunity to win some amazing prizes. Hotel stays, dinners, airline tickets – you never know what you’re going to walk away with after Paradise Plates! Double down on your chances to win a prize by participating in the H4H raffle and wine pull.

THE INTERNATIONAL CHEFS

Paradise Plates garners the support of top chefs not only in The Bahamas but also abroad. In years past, we’ve offered our guests the chance to try the creations of visiting chefs and this year is no exception.  Sample the delicacies of world-class international chefs – Chef Hiyaw Gebreyohannes of Gorsha Ethiopian Eatery in Washington, D.C. and Pastry Chef Pachi Larrea from Miami, FL. Thanks to title sponsor JetBlue, guests get the chance to exclusively experience these chefs in the country at Paradise Plates.

THE NETWORKING

Everyone knows that Paradise Plates is a melting pot of foodies from all over The Bahamas, but you may be surprised by how many visitors from abroad make it a point to be there as well.  Paradise Plates is the place to truly mix and mingle.  You never know who you may bump into while sampling the best gourmet food the island has to offer.

THE ART

There’s always so much to see at Paradise Plates. From the spectacular decor to the live art, the henna designs to caricature drawings, your eyes, along with your stomachs, will have lots to feast on.

THE IMPACT

MAKING A DIFFERENCE – of course, the best reason to attend Paradise Plates is to support Hands For Hunger! This small organization has been on the road every week for the past 10 years rescuing and delivering fresh, surplus food to those in need.  We are making a huge impact and it’s only possible because of the support of people like you.
We hope to see you Saturday, September 29th in the Imperial Ballroom, Atlantis for a night of Food, Fun and Philanthropy!
