Guest Chef Wine Dinner at The Blue Point, Duck, NC
To kick off the 25th Anniversary of The Blue Point,we are hosting Guest Iron Chef, Walter Royal from the Angus Barn in Raliegh, NC. Known for our coastal cuisine, we are delighted to have the Chef from one of America's Top 10 Steak houses join us! Alabama-born Walter Royal, Executive Chef of the Angus Barn and Pavilion, knew at the formative age of 14 that he wanted to spend his life exemplifying the southern way of spreading irresistible food before guests. His first classrooms were his mother and grandmother's kitchens where he learned that the very essence of southern hospitality is homemade. To enhance his education, he attended Nathalie Dupree's Cooking School in Atlanta and eventually found his way to the Triangle where he landed at The Fearrington House with the legendary Jenny Fitch. "Working with and learning from such a master was one of the highlights of my life," says Walter. He then moved to one of Durham's fine restaurants, Magnolia Grill, and worked there with Ben and Karen Barker for six years. Walter was among the class of chefs who were part of a renaissance of celebrated chefs, all coming from the Triangle. When Alice and Van were scouting chefs, searching for the perfect person to run the kitchen of the Triangle's largest restaurant, they luckily found Walter. Not only did Walter have the mastery of southern cuisine down to an art, he was also a southern gentleman just what the Angus Barn needed!
Professional chefs are rarely completely satisfied because they're perfectionists, according to Walter. Although his mind may be totally focused on pleasing guests, his imagination is always soaring thinking of new ideas. And soar it did when Walter was asked to be appear as a guest chef on Food Network's Iron Chef America. Taking a road far less traveled by celebrated chefs previously on the show, Walter led his team of four to victory by stepping completely out of the box. Chef Royal and his team defeated celebrity Iron Chef Cat Cora 51-43 in an upset not even the most experienced odds maker would have predicted.
We are delighted to have Walter here to host a special wine dinner to help us celebrate. Angus Barn has been recognized as one of the Ten Best Steak Houses in America, holds a Dirona Award for fine dining and a Wine Spectator Grand Award, in addition to being acknowledged for their continued support of the restaurant industry with an Outstanding Industry Leader Award from the National Restaurant Association.
We will begin the evening with a reception on the lawn overlooking the sound at 6:30pm with champagne and hors d'oeuvres. The intimate dinner for 50 guests will be hosted on the porch and the North dining room. Tickets for the evening include wine (expect library vintages, large formats and some special surprises), dinner, tax and gratuity and are $175 per person. They are sure to go quickly, so reserve your seat today!
