Next month the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team will make our way to Nashville, Tennessee, for the 2024 The Trazees. It’s a trip of firsts for me — after working at the company for five years, I have never been to The Trazees, and I have never been to Nashville.

This year’s event will be held at The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville, on Monday, Aug. 12. This is the first event we are having in Nashville, and we’re excited about the new destination. We are hoping to get some new faces to The Trazees to help us celebrate all the wonderful winners.

With that said, we cordially invite our readers and a guest to The Trazees! If you will be in or around Nashville Aug. 12 and want to come, click here to RSVP. Guests will enjoy an evening of delicious food, an open bar, Dom Perignon raffle, a chance to win a trip to Athens and much more.

This year we will launch the Joey Fecci Award for Culinary Excellence, which will remember and honor the legacy of the young chef who tragically passed away earlier this year. In April tragedy struck when the up-and-coming culinary star passed away at the young age of 26. He was in the early stages of opening his own restaurant after moving on from his role as chef de cuisine at Yolan at The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville. Fecci’s memory will live on at the restaurant, where his influence remains strong. For more information on Fecci and his legacy, click here.
