On September 26th, 6:00pm at the MD Science Center, 20 of Baltimore’s most talented Chefs will partner with 20 local Farms to create innovative recipes for over 250 food enthusiasts. The American Institute of Wine & Food, Baltimore/MD Chapter, whose mission is to advance the understanding, appreciation and quality of what we eat and drink, is proud to present the 2nd annual event to highlight the local talents of Baltimore’s Chefs and Maryland Farmers.
The Farmer and The Chef benefits the Days of Taste®, a program that brings together Chefs, Farmers and community volunteers to introduce elementary school children to the basic elements of taste and to teach them how their food travels from farm to table. All of the Chefs and Farmers participating in the event have donated their time and resources to teaching children the benefits of cooking with fresh, local ingredients.
Local Baltimore Judges including Joe Di Pasquale of Di Pasquale's, Vince Fava of Trinacria, Franciso "Paco" Lobo of Tio Pepe's, Albert Kirchmayr of Kirchmayr Chocolatier, and Adam Borden of Maryland for Better Beer and Wine Laws have the coveted task of tasting all of the Chef’s creations and choosing the tastiest and most creative dish. A People’s Choice award will be based on the guests’ votes.
The evening will also include five live auction items and ten high-end raffle items. Guests will have their chance to bid on “The Ultimate Dinner Party”. The highest bidder will enjoy a four course wine dinner prepared by five chefs to share with eight guests. The raffle prizes range from culinary classes to elegant dinners and tours.
In addition to sampling each Chef’s recipe, guests will be treated to local and organic Wines, Beers as well as a Martini Bar.
