Publix to Sponsor Dr. Phillips Center's 2015-16 Celebrity Chefs Series

Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts has partnered with Publix to present the 2015-2016 Publix Chefs at Dr. Phillips Center Series, which will showcase a trio of kitchen legends in the Walt Disney Theater.

Nationally known celebrity chefs Emeril Lagasse, The Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten and Guy Fieri share their passion for the power and joy of food live on stage. From the BAM! of Emeril's Louisiana cuisine, to the inviting ease of The Barefoot Contessa to the "culinary rock star" of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, there's something for every palate in this year's Publix Chefs at Dr. Phillips Center.

The series will have Publix Apron Cooking Schools chefs preparing tasty treats on the first and second tiers of the Dr. Phillips Center before each performance.

"Publix is a fantastic Central Florida company," said president & CEO of the Dr. Phillips Center, Kathy Ramsberger. "We thank them for their partnership that enables us to present this unique series."

"We are excited to be a part and to support this exciting series and to showcase the extraordinary food offerings from Publix Apron's Cooking School," said Sam Pero, regional director for Publix Super Markets.
