MICHAEL AND HEATHER BARNES OWNERS OF MANGIA-MANGIA; on the steps with Glenna & MG. I asked them to send me more Info. after seeing this Post; they also sent me the accompanying Article by"THE WEEKLY".... WWW.MANGIA-MANGIA.COM 900 Southard St. 305-294-2469

The Florida Keys Children’s Shelter, serving more than 500 youths and families annually throughout the Keys, presented Mangia Pasta Café owners, Mike and Heather Barnes, with the winning “Best Keys Eats 2020” virtual chefs’ challenge award.




The inaugural cooking competition held last month involved chefs and restaurants that are members of the Keys’ six chambers of commerce. Participants submitted a 3-minute video of themselves preparing their signature Keys dish. Chefs and restaurants were asked to promote the fundraiser on their social media platforms, encouraging fans and followers to donate to the nonprofit organization.
The panel of judges included Heather Carruthers, mayor of Monroe County; Teri Johnston mayor of Key West; Steve Cook, mayor of Marathon; Mike Forster, mayor of Islamorada; Mark Charles, past president of the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce; Margie Smith, president of the Ocean Reef Chamber of Commerce; and Leonel Dieujuste, the shelter’s executive chef.
Serving the Florida Keys for 35 years, FKCS is the only licensed emergency shelter for children ages up to 18 and the only federally-funded drop-in center for runaway youth up to age 21 in the Keys.
“With the cancelation of crucial fundraising events, we were inspired to create a virtual experience that not only benefited our organization, but helped highlight our amazing Florida Keys restaurants,” said Ben Kemmer, chief executive officer of the shelter. “One of the best things about living in the Florida Keys is eating the delicious foods prepared by our talented chefs. We were excited to team up with them for a great cause and will make this an annual event every May.”
FKCS, with facilities in Tavernier and Key West, provides an emergency shelter, group homes, community-based counseling, respite services and meals, and a drop-in center for homeless and runaway youth.
For information about “Best Keys Eats 2020,” visit
