We are really excited to be cooking with our friend Tony Maws again. On July 29, 2010, we will be cooking a collaborative dinner at his restaurant, Craigie on Main, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We will also be arriving in Cambridge that Sunday, July 25, to begin preparing for the dinner and teaching four workshops (to be detailed later) which will be held at Craigie on Main on Monday, the 26th, and Tuesday, the 27th, during the day. Here’s the info from COM’s press release:
Save The Date! Craigie On Main’s Chef Tony Maws—together with Ideas in Food’s Chefs Aki Kamozawa and H. Alexander Talbot—will host the Celebrity Chef Tour Dinner benefiting the James Beard Foundation.
The Celebrity Chef Tour benefiting the James Beard Foundation is coming to Cambridge on Thursday, July 29, 2010, for a night of culinary celebration. Two-time James Beard Nominee for Best Chef Northeast (2009, 2010) Tony Maws of Craigie On Main will cook an eight-course meal with IdeasInFood.com husband-and-wife dynamos Aki Kamozawa and H. Alexander Talbot.
Chef Maws’ signature “refined rusticity” will be paired with the modern culinary prowess of Chefs Kamozawa and Talbot in a fun and spectacular dining event. The full menu is currently being developed, but you can be sure of courses by the Craigie On Main team and the Ideas In Food team individually, as well as special courses concocted by Tony, Alex, and Aki together. The night’s dinner will be paired with a variety of libations from Maws’ hand-selected wines to Craigie’s infamous cocktails and local brews.
A portion of the evening’s proceeds will go to the James Beard Foundation educational programs, which include continuing education classes, guided tastings, readings, conferences, children’s programs, scholarship opportunities for aspiring culinary students, and volunteer opportunities for current culinary students. To date, the Celebrity Chef Tour has raised over $850k for the James Beard Foundation.
Craigie On Main is located at 853 Main St., in Cambridge, MA. The Celebrity Chef Tour Dinner will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 29, 2010. Tickets are $150 per person (inclusive of wine pairings, tax, and gratuity) and can be reserved by calling Jeff Black at 720.201.1853 or by visiting http://www.celebritycheftour.com.
