Salute presents: An Evening of Southern Food with Damon Lee Fowler
Join us for an interactive and fun LIVE chef demonstration, featuring Damon Lee Fowler from Savannah, Georgia. Alongside local Winston-Salem chefs, Damon explores some "classic southern food recipes" with a new twist. A historian, author and culinary school instructor, Damon's demonstration is the main feature presentation for the event. The chefs not only get to present their talented culinary skills, but they are able to interact with the audience, whether it be sharing stories or asking someone to join them onstage to sneak a taste. Damon will feature two dishes that incorporate local southern food and progresses step-by-step so that the audience can follow along and ask questions.
Local chefs that are participating include Chef Janis Karathanas of Mozelle's Fresh Southern Bistro and Tim Grandinetti of Spring House Restaurant, Kitchen and Bar.
Guests will also enjoy some fine North Carolina wine, provided by Westbend, RayLen, Stonefield Cellars and MenaRick WInery, as well as hors d'oeuvres. Michael Hastings, Food Editor of the Winston-Salem Journal will be our Master of Ceremonies and will talk us through the chef demonstrations.
