Chef2Chef.net and The Chimney Park Bistro Hit Another Home Run

On Tuesday evening, August 15th, Chefs from around the world converged on The Chimney Park Bistro in Windsor, Colorado for it's third annual Chef2Chef.net Culinary Grant Fund Raiser. Attending chefs were from Washington, Colorado, New York, North Carolina, Missouri and the United Kingdom. Also attending were two previous grant winners from Johnson and Wales and the French Culinary Institute, who worked side by side with the chefs. That was truly exciting for all. Host Chef Florian Wehrli and  Chef de Cuisine, Evey Post were most gracious and accommodating, and we are still trying to find the words to thank them.

While the numbers are still being totaled and the web pages are being created, we woud like to share this most amazing menu. Please stay tuned for all the details in next week's Sunday Culinary Times.

Chef of the Month: David Burke

Blazing across distinctions between chef, artist, entrepreneur, and inventor, David Burke is one of the leading pioneers in American cooking today. His fascination with ingredients and the art of the meal has fueled a career marked by creativity, critical acclaim, and the introduction of revolutionary products and cooking techniques.

Burke trained at the Culinary Institute of America, and soon thereafter the New Jersey native headed to France to refine his skills and take in the wonders of Michelin-starred cooking. After several stages with notable chefs such as Pierre Troisgros and Georges Blanc, he detoured from savory cooking to study pastry arts under Gaston Lenôtre. The precision and chemistry of baking were highly appealing, and he immersed himself in it fully, supplementing his course work by baking bread and making chocolate at a local patisserie. He returned to the U.S. and spent three formative years as Waldy Malouf's sous chef at La Cremaillere in Westchester where he developed a solid foundation in French cooking.
