Culinary Careers Program (C•CAP L.A.) Gala Honoring Chef Celestino Drago

C•CAP Los Angeles’ (Culinary Careers Program) Annual Gala Benefit Dinner is set for Friday evening, May 16th at Jonathan Club Downtown Los Angeles. This year’s honoree is acclaimed Italian Chef Celestino Drago (Drago Centro), the pioneer of regional Italian fine dining in Los Angeles.

“Chef Celestino brought Sicilian culinary traditions to the city over 40 years ago. His award-winning, wildly popular restaurants honor his roots, with a modern twist.” 

The evening launches with rooftop libations (including cocktails, premium wine and craft beer) and canapés followed by a sumptuous 4-course, wine-paired Sicilian dinner (with the menu by Celestino Drago) in the Jonathan Club Grand Ballroom. 

“C•CAP Los Angeles annually supports over 7,000 LA area high school students with culinary arts education, job skills training, college scholarships, and career opportunities.”

C•CAP Los Angeles’ Director, Lisa Fontanesi joins us with all the Gala details.
