Bistro Ten Zero One: “Puerto Rico in My Heart”
Chef Christian Quinones of Bistro Ten Zero One in West Palm Beach watched as his homeland of Puerto Rico was torn apart during Hurricane Maria. Along with that was the knowledge his 4-year-old daughter was on the island during the storm, too. His family was able to bring her to Florida, but Chef Quinones wants to send help to those still trying to survive there. To do that, he’s created “Puerto Rico in My Heart,” a fundraiser at the West Palm Marriott on Oct. 26, from 7 to 10 p.m.
Other participating chefs include Chef Sean Brasel of Meat Market, James King of Latitudes at Delray Sands, and Rafael Velasquez, formerly of Makoto. There will be live music, a silent auction, dancing and more. Tickets are $50 in advance, $60 at the door and include food and drinks. Tickets are available here.

A special wine dinner on Oct. 22 hosted by 32 East will donate both dinner proceeds and the money raised by a wine raffle to the American Red Cross, which will use the funds to help victims of the Napa/Sonoma wildfires. General Manager John Bates was just in Sonoma in June, and knows a lot of his customers have personal memories of the area. The dinner, starting at 7 p.m., costs $120, and the restaurant will fit in as many diners as they can to maximize the results.
Dishes will include Maine scallops, chicken cacciatore, venison loin, grilled tenderloin of beef, and Kilwin’s dark chocolate truffles for dessert. Each diner is asked to bring a bottle of wine for the raffle. Reservations are required.
