Events Loveless Cafe To Spread the Valentine's Day Love at Prestigious James Beard House
Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 7:36 AM
Chef Pickens is thrilled about the challenge. "For a chef to cook at the James Beard House is like an athlete being invited to the Olympics. It's an honor that you don't take lightly, as you could work your whole life and never have that opportunity." The Loveless gang is bringing their A-game, with a menu of some of the restaurant's strongest dishes and some other Nashville favorites as accompaniments:

I sure hope that there is somebody at each table to explain to those Yankees what the proper etiquette is when the fried chicken hits the table. I'd hate to see another civil war erupt over the last drumstick. If you're interested in attending, or have Manhattanite friends who need to learn a little something about the South, you can find all the skinny at the James Beard event site. Or even better, Loveless has teamed up with Southwest Airlines for a pretty fabulous contest. The sweepstakes winner will receive:
Round-trip air travel on Southwest Airlines®
Two nights' hotel accommodations at the Hilton New York
Two tickets to the Loveless Cafe Beard House Dinner
Round-trip shuttle transportation between the airport, hotel, and Beard House Dinner
$500.00 in cash to cover additional expenses
You can enter here until Feb. 1. Here's hoping a Bites reader wins and can report back about how well the Loveless Cafe represented Music City!
