(PRESS RELEASE) FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, 2026-Apr-8 — /Travel PR News/ — At Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, a new culinary initiative is set to spotlight the city’s growing reputation as a dining destination. The property has introduced a year-long dinner series at Evelyn’s Fort Lauderdale, bringing Michelin-recognized chefs from across the United States together for exclusive, one-night-only collaborations throughout 2026.

Scheduled on select Monday evenings, the series centres on intimate, chef-to-chef menus created in partnership between visiting culinary talent and the hotel’s in-house team, led by Executive Chef Brandon Salomon. Each event will feature a bespoke menu available for a single night, emphasising creativity, collaboration, and a sense of occasion that cannot be replicated.

The initiative reflects a broader shift in Fort Lauderdale’s culinary landscape, as the city continues to gain recognition for its evolving food scene. General Manager Mali Carow noted that the series is designed to bring nationally acclaimed chefs into the hotel’s kitchen in a way that feels authentic to the destination while highlighting the intersection of talent, culture, and innovation.

At the heart of the programme is Evelyn’s, an oceanfront restaurant known for its coastal Floridian cuisine infused with Eastern Mediterranean influences. Under Salomon’s leadership, the venue has contributed to shaping the city’s culinary identity, making it a fitting stage for a rotating roster of guest chefs.

The series launched in March 2026, with its first featured collaboration led by Orianne Shapira, Executive Chef of Shmoné in New York City. The Michelin-starred restaurant, created by Eyal Shani, is known for its highly seasonal, ingredient-driven approach, with menus that evolve alongside market availability.

Additional dinners scheduled for 2026 include a collaboration with Chef Bernardo Paladini of Torno Subito in Miami, a concept associated with Massimo Bottura, as well as a future event featuring Chef Serigne Mbaye of Dakar NOLA in New Orleans in early 2027. More guest chefs are expected to be announced as the series progresses.

Beyond the dining programme, guests are encouraged to extend their visit through curated hotel experiences, including dining, wellness, and leisure offerings. The hotel’s Experience More package provides added value for longer stays, reinforcing the property’s focus on delivering a comprehensive luxury experience.

By launching its first ongoing national dining series, Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale positions Evelyn’s as a platform for culinary exchange and innovation, while contributing to the city’s emergence as a destination where high-level gastronomy continues to evolve.
