Thanks
to everyone who braved the rain and joined me for my all day cooking
demo at the Lakeview East Festival of Arts on Sunday. Even though the
weather was not ideal, we still had large crowds who were rewarded with
lots of food, drinks, and giveaways! I featured some of the recipes from
current episodes of FlavCity, and invited some area restaurants to join
me and show how they make some of their signature dishes. Chrissy Camba
of Top Chef fame rocked the house to a standing room only crowd, and
showed us a spaghetti squash dish that was dynamite! Every demo had
delish samples including guacamole and
margaritas from Revolucion Steakhouse, Steak tacos from D.S. Tequila,
and chocolate espresso waffles from Waffles. Of course I treated
everyone to prime grilled steaks from Alleen Brothers, bruschetta alla
Toscana, and tomato gazpacho. The feedback was really positive and I had
a blast!
I went on NBC 5 Chicago last week to promote the event, and here is my interview along with some pictures from the cooking demo:
