Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Tickets go on sale today for the Denver Celebrity Chef Tour, a star-studded squad of kitchen sorcerers, including Matt Selby (Vesta Dipping Grill and Steuben's); Alex Seidel (Fruition and Fruition Farms); Eric Skokan (Black Cat, Boulder); and Michael Ginor, the co-founder and chef of Hudson Valley Foie Gras, all of whom will gather in the kitchen of Osteria Marco, Frank Bonanno's restaurant at 1453 Larimer Street, on November 18 to cook a multi-course dinner paired with bubbles, wines, beers and/or cocktails.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience what transpires at the James Beard House in a restaurant in your own home town," says Elizabeth Woessner, the national marketing consultant for the Celebrity Chef Tour Dinner Series. "The caliber of chefs who are participating in the Denver event are some of the best we have. The breadth and depth of their talent and experience is unparalleled."
The roving Celebrity Chef Tour dinners, which began in 2004, benefit the James Beard Foundation's programming and educational initiatives. Tickets to the Denver dinner are $150 per person ($130 if you've got a Visa Signature card) and can be purchased at www.events.foodconnect.com/kiosk/1919.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
