You can also buy a Premier Tasting Ticket for $175 (which includes your Big Red ticket) that entitles you to join a private reception with Tyler Anderson, Owner and Executive Chef of Millwright's Restaurant in Simsbury and winner on the Food Network TV show Chopped, in the Society Room's Hartford Cottage at 5:30pm.
