Don't Miss: Chef Josie Smith-Malave and the Power of Healthy Living
Chef Josie Smith-Malave has done it all. A classically trained chef, she's traveled the world, appeared on the hit TV series "Top Chef," and worked in the best kitchens across the country from New York City to San Francisco. She now calls Fort Lauderdale home and is the chef-owner of Bubbles & Pearls, an intimate dining spot and raw bar in LGBTQ+-friendly Wilton Manors.
Smith-Malave's dynamic career, which has also included a stint playing for the New York Sharks of the Independent Women's Football League, was put in jeopardy after she contracted COVID-19 early in the pandemic. Ever resilient, she's relied on her sobriety to get through tough times, both personally and professionally. Smith-Malave will share plenty of ideas for creating joyful, sober dining experiences at home, along with her approach to managing life's challenges through healthy living and eating.
