Events What the Super Chefs Will Be Cooking: Savor Nashville Menus Announced
Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Tue, May 31, 2011 at 11:20 AM
The guest chefs have impressive resumes: Robert Del Grande, executive chef and partner of the renowned Cafe Annie in Houston; “Godfather of American Cuisine” Larry Forgione; Bob Kinkead, chef and owner of Kinkead’s in Washington, D.C.; Lydia Shire of Locke-Ober restaurant of Boston; and Norman Van Aken of Norman’s in Orlando.
The participating locals will be Matt Simonds of the Hilton Downtown Nashville, Jeremy Barlow of Tayst, Matt Bolus of Watermark, Brian Uhl of Sunset Grille and Megan Williams of Capitol Grille. I'd put that roster of kitchen professionals up against any town's talent. Entertainment will be provided by Grammy Award-winning songwriters Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman and friends, and wine will be served with each course, courtesy of Concannon Vineyards.
The dinner is at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Nashville Downtown. Tickets are $150 per person (which includes access to a silent auction with 100 percent of auction proceeds benefiting Community Food Advocates), and it's not too late to get a seat. Check out the menu:
