2026 CRHA Golf Classic & Chef Farm Dinner Highlights 🏌️♀️
Thank you for another great year at the Annual CRHA Golf Classic & Chef Farm Dinner, presented by Sysco!
This event is the Connecticut Restaurant & Hospitality Association’s second biggest event of the year, raising funds for our year-round advocacy work, workforce development initiatives, educational programs, and member support services.
Hosted at Lyman Orchards Golf Club, our event takes over the Player and Jones courses, and features unique activations from our industry partners, including delicious food and drink samples, before heading back to the tent for a delicious Cocktail Hour and Chef Farm Dinner by our four featured Chefs.
This year’s Chef Farm Dinner featured Chefs, presented by Performance Foodservice were:
-
Chef Joe Attonito of JJ Stacks
-
Chef Teila Chappel of Madison Beach Hotel
-
Chef Jenna McPartland of Joylark Kitchen
-
Chef Carlos Perez of Good News Restaurant & Bar
The Chefs collaborated to create an incredible three-course meal, sourcing from local farms and purveyors. (Click here to see the full menu!)
The Chefs were supported by Taila Gonzalez, a ProStart Student from Norwich Free Academy. Taila showcased her skills by supporting service as a Chef Assistant, preparing and plating each dish for the 300 guests. You can learn more about ProStart, one of the programs supported by the CRHA’s charitable arm, the Connecticut Hospitality Educational Foundation, here.
