FOR THE FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW, CHEF ALEX PINEDA IS COMING TO BETTINI RESTAURANT AT HARBOR VIEW HOTEL FOR THE ANNUAL FOOD & WINE DINNER ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2022
100% of the gross proceeds will be donated to MV Boys & Girls Club
EDGARTOWN, MA, August 11, 2022 — The Harbor View Hotel is teaming up with Guest Chefs Alex Pineda and Noe Ortega of The Landing Restaurant in Marblehead, Massachusetts for the Annual Food and Wine dinner on October 21, 2022. The theme of this year’s dinner is Internationally Local Cuisines. Chef Alex will join Bettini Restaurant’s Culinary Director, Michael Gottlieb, to create internationally inspired dishes using fresh ingredients from local New England purveyors.
Harbor View Hotel and Bettini Restaurant will dedicate 100% of the gross proceeds from the Food and Wine Dinner to the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club. These funds will help support the Club’s food security program which provides meals and snacks to members and their families.
Harbor View Hotel owner, Bernard Chiu, is enthusiastic about the great work that MVBGC does to support the local community. “In addition to offering financial support, I am also creating a program at Harbor View Hotel that will incentivize employees to volunteer their time to the MV Boys & Girls Club,” explains Chiu. Through mentorship, we will help the young people of Martha’s Vineyard build self-confidence, hard-work ethic, positive values, and future career opportunities.
Chef Alex Pineda, Executive Chef of Landing Restaurant in Marblehead, MA, and finalist on Bravo’s Food Network TV Show, “Chopped”, will take guests on an extraordinary culinary journey. His talent combined with his charisma and passionate storytelling about every dish has made for a very entertaining event for the past three years.
Bettini’s Executive Chef, Michael Gottlieb, awarded for his creative excellence by the James Beard Foundation, is excited to collaborate with Chef Alex and bring his flavor to the event with soulful food and a deep commitment to fresh, locally sourced farm-to-table cuisine. Bettini Restaurant is one of the best dining experiences on the island and a 2022 winner of the Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence.
The evening will consist of eight courses, four dishes from Chef Alex and four dishes from Chef Michael. This spectacular food and wine dinner was sold out last year. This year, Harbor View Hotel hope for the same turn out in support of the MVBGC.
