Chef's Table Series: June 9 & 16

The Chef’s Table Series goes on the road and travels to Townsend’s Restaurant in Hyde Park and then journeys to Savinos Grill in Belmont. Two evenings for guests to learn how to cook, to meet the chef, enjoy food, wine and benefit a charity.

The Chef’s Table Series is an interactive cooking demonstration and learning experience that takes place at various restaurants throughout the Boston area. In a classroom like setting, participants learn techniques, how to cook the dish being prepared and get to know the chef via a question and answer session. Participants will watch, learn and taste the food being prepared. They will each receive a complementary glass of wine, a free recipe booklet and the opportunity to win a special gift from the restaurant. Proceeds from each ticket sale benefit a charity of the restaurant’s choice.

Tickets are $40 per person (gratuity not included). Reservations are required in advance. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. Tickets can be purchased on-line at TableCritic.com (click on Table News) or by calling 617.323.0670

It certainly sounds like a fun experience, and you are also contributing to good causes. I think the event is very reasonably priced and would recommend that you check it out.
