Esteemed Chef Tiffany Derry to Star in St. Croix Foundation’s ‘Wine in the Warehouse’ Event

The St. Croix Foundation extends a warm invitation to culinary enthusiasts as Tiffany Derry, celebrated for her stellar performances on Top Chef, revisits the region to grace the annual ‘Wine in the Warehouse’ event as its star chef.

Initially captivating audiences in the seventh season of Bravo’s acclaimed Top Chef, Derry quickly ascended as a fan-favorite, clinching a spot in the top four contenders. Her culinary journey didn’t end there; she further showcased her prowess in Top Chef: All-Stars, and made remarkable appearances in other televised cooking face-offs like Chopped, and Beat Bobby Flay among others.

Beyond the screen, Derry is a seasoned restaurateur managing two esteemed eateries: Roots Chicken Shack and Roots Southern Table. The latter notably clinched a nomination as a 2022 James Beard Award Finalist for Best New Restaurant, underscoring its eminent standing in the gastronomic realm.

The return of such an illustrious chef and entrepreneur to St. Croix is a source of immense enthusiasm, remarked St. Croix Foundation President Deanna James. “Tiffany Derry isn’t just a remarkable chef, but a staunch advocate for social justice, equity, and food accessibility,” James expressed.

Further applauding Derry’s commitment to honoring her heritage and fostering community bonds through her culinary ventures, James hailed her as an “inspirational ally” for the Foundation’s endeavors.

Come December 8, the ambiance within the Bohlke International Aviation hangar will morph, as usual, into a haven for gourmands and wine aficionados. This signature soiree by the Foundation aims to meld community spirit with philanthropy, promising an unparalleled gastronomic voyage.
