As you may have heard, Bill and Eden Brown closed Isle Cook on Whitehead Street this summer. We are so honored to carry forward their wonderfully creative addition to Key West’s culinary scene under the remarkable direction of chef Martha Hubbard and me, Daniel McCurdy, as Sommelier. The dinners will be in a different format and for what we believe is a worthy cause for Key West.

We are pleased to announce that as of September, chef Martha has become the Executive Chef for the Fleming Street Faith Center, a 501(c)(3) organization, which will be dedicated to teaching children practical skills like cooking. Martha will now not only continue to host the dinners and wine tastings you all have grown to love, but she will also teach children valuable lessons in nutrition and cooking. All proceeds from Isle Cook events will go to the Fleming Street Faith Center. More to come on the purpose and vision of this organization which we are fondly calling “The Peace Church.”

The church is currently being renovated, so all interim dinners are being held in a beautiful Conch home at 4 Hibiscus Lane. We will keep you updated on the status of the renovation as it progresses.

You can expect our usual Monday event update emails, with details about continuing this savory Key West tradition. I am looking forward to seeing you all and dining together for a wonderful purpose in the years to come.
