Special Feature - Chef Cook-Off
The theme of this year's Herbfest is Spice Up your Life, so the dishes are likely to have decidedly spicy overtones. As recently announced, The Table Restaurant is the sponsor of this year's Chef-Cook Off.
Host: Debbie Trenholm, accredited sommelier of The Savvy Grapes.
Our three participating chefs this year will be:
Chef Marc Lepine. Atelier Restaurant
Chef Pablo Robaina - Amate Food & Gifts
Chef Scott Lucas – TRIO Restaurant
Congratulations to
