Join us as we enjoy the hospitality of a Southern Jewel at this years ACF Southeast Regional Conference in Birmingham, Alabama. Known as the “Magic City,” Birmingham has stood as a cultural and industrial center of the South since 1871. It has a vibrant and thriving culinary and arts community which we will showcase with local chefs and restaurateurs, such as award-winning Chris Hastings from the Hot & Hot Fish Club. Chef Hastings goes to great lengths to make sure that what goes into every dish is always fresh and in season, and sourced as locally as possible. His demo is part of a dynamic educational programming schedule being compiled by your host chapter and the ACF Events Management department.
