The Silk Rodeo: Lucky #7 featuring Chef Ben Grupe

It is no secret that number 7 is known as a lucky number! In ancient Chinese culture, the number 7 also symbolizes "togetherness".

Get together with your friends at Hammer & Hand on Saturday, February 27th and enjoy an evening you won't forget!

Who is Chef Ben Grupe?

Ben is an award winning chef that has accumulated over twenty National and International medals. His training has taken him all over the U.S. and the world.

Ben was born and raised in St. Louis and started cooking at the age of 15. Like many chefs he started from the bottom and worked his way through the ranks. His most recent job was as Executive Chef at Meadowbrook Country Club in 2014.

He now spends most of his time traveling with Culinary Team USA and competed in the World Cup last fall in Luxembourg. They earned two gold medals and placed third overall out of thirty-two countries. The team has now begun training for the IKA Culinary Olympics in 2016.

Chef Grupe is also no stranger to doing pop up dinners! He has held dinners at the lovely and prestigious Inns at St. Albans and other fantastic venus around St. Louis.

One of our biggest fans and favorite food writer George Mahe from St. Louis Magazine has this to say about the Chef:

"Grupe's country club affiliations have kept him somewhat under local radar but his resume (including Captain of the 2016 ACF Culinary Team USA) and talents are impressive."

Chef Ben Grupe and his staff will wine and dine you in our unique and one-of-a-kind shop all night long!

We are also very excited about the pairings from Bommarito Wines. We will have a few sommeliers on hand to guide you through the tastings and teach you more about the pairings.

Hammer & Hand promises to make this an evening you won't forget. And, the best part? With your ticket purchase you will receive 30% off any item in our store!
