The toast of the town


Golden Panther Andres Villabona and School of Hospitality and Tourism Management professor Michael Moran ’86, MS ’03 beamed with pride as they mingled with guests at the Feb. 20 Perrier-Jouët BubbleQ, one of the signature events of the 2009 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

This year, Moran and the student volunteers were able to recover more than 800 meals from SoBe events. Those meals, which were donated to the Daily Food Bank, represent twice what the students were able to salvage last year.
