Organizers of the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival have announced a star-studded lineup for this year’s fest, which not only promises to be twice the size as last year’s festival, it will venture across the bridges into West Palm for a few key events.

Some highlights of the five-day, five-night bacchanalia:

• FRIDAY, DEC. 7: The festival launches with the Golf Digest Celebrity Chef Golf Cup and Food Truck: Impossible, a new event hosted by TV chef Robert Irvine (of Food Network’s Dinner: Impossible and Restaurant: Impossible).

Later that night, The Breakers will re-create one of New York’s legendary restaurants at An Evening with Le Cirque: A Tribute to Sirio. It’s an all-star night: on hand to fete Le Cirque owner and maitre d’ Sirio Maccioni will be Le Cirque’s chef Olivier Reginensi, as well as chefs Daniel Boulud, David Burke, Marc Murphy and Jacques Torres, along with The Breakers’ outstanding culinary team, including executive chef of banquets Jeff Simms and master sommelier Virginia Philip.
