Atlantic Cape Community College will celebrate its 50th anniversary at its annual Restaurant Gala on Thursday, March 23, in the Avalon Ballroom of Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center.
The annual event showcases food by serving thousands of hors d’oeuvres prepared by students from the Academy of Culinary Arts and featuring the culinary specialties of 40 of the region’s best restaurants at a progressive dining experience.
George Kyrtatas of Medford, co-owner and executive chef of SweetWater Bar & Grill in Cinnaminson and 1999 Academy of Culinary Arts graduate, is the 2017 Culinary Honoree for the Restaurant Gala.

Each year, nearly 1,000 food enthusiasts attend the Gala, who will have the opportunity to dance the night away with live music from Central Park.
This year’s theme is the “Golden Gala,” commemorating the college’s 50th anniversary of creating educational opportunities for Atlantic and Cape May County residents. The Restaurant Gala has raised $3 million since its inception in 1984, with proceeds benefiting student scholarships at the Academy of Culinary Arts at Atlantic Cape Community College and Atlantic Cape Foundation operations.
Tickets to the Gala are $225 a person and can be ordered by contacting Alicia McMackin at 609-463-4672 or amcmacki@atlantic.edu, or visiting atlantic.edu/gala.
