π We're thrilled to reveal our fourth Chefs Up Front chef: Celebrity Chef Robyn Almodovar π
If the name sounds familiar, it's because Chef Robyn has made a name for herself on national television β competing on Hell's Kitchen (twice!), winning Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen, and most recently appearing on Food Network's 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing.
A Staten Island native with Puerto Rican and Italian roots, Chef Robyn has been cooking since childhood and built her career in South Florida's top kitchens, including her own food truck, Palate Party, named Best Food Truck in Miami in 2013.
This fall marks a huge milestone for her: the opening of Against All Odds (Aao), her first fully self-owned restaurant in Miami's Buena Vista neighborhood, a menu that draws from every chapter of her incredible journey.
We're honored to have Chef Robyn bring her talent and story to Chefs Up Front this October, supporting South Florida's kids and seniors.
