SOLD OUT Every chef’s story is shaped by the kitchens that challenge them, the people who teach them, and the teams they become part of along the way. Chef Chason Spencer and Chef François Castro both spent part of their early careers with the Orsay Restaurant Group, where they learned the value of teamwork, leadership, and the friendships that define great kitchens. Joining them is Chef Maria La Mota of Chancho King, whose Ecuadorian heritage, talent, and creativity have helped shape the restaurant alongside Chason and their team. Together, Chason, Maria, and François have earned national recognition as 2026 James Beard Award finalists for Best Chef: South—a first for Jacksonville and a milestone that has helped shine a national spotlight on the city’s growing culinary scene. For one evening, these three chefs will cook alongside the Orsay team for Family Meal Alumni Dinner #2—a celebration of the people, experiences, and passion for hospitality that continue to bring us together. 🎟️ Tickets are $165++ per guest and will be hosted in Orsay's Lounge and Private Dining Room at 3630 Park Street. 📩 Email Danielle@restaurantorsay.com for questions. More dinners to come. Stay close. Because family always finds its way back to the table.
