The Fine Art of Dining Culinary Series Part Deux
The rumors are true – The Fine Art of Dining is almost here! After the smashing success of the Albany Museum of Art’s inaugural culinary series, we’re excited to announce our plans for the upcoming season. Through completely sold-out events, we introduced patrons to a culinary experience unlike anything else available in Albany. With celebrated chefs from around the state who prepared gourmet meals, sponsors who provided very special paired wines, and hosts that welcomed us into their beautiful, private residences, this was a major fundraiser for the museum. And there’s more to come!
This fall will usher in our second season of The Art of Fine Dining, and plans for the unique dining experiences are coming together quickly. The first dinner is scheduled for October 1, with subsequent dinners on January 21, March 18, April 22 and May 20. These intimate dinners for 30 - 40 guests will feature custom menus designed by the guest chef, perfectly paired with wines by a highly- informative sommelier. Evenings typically begin with cocktails at 6 pm followed by an evening of course after course of fabulous dishes created by our passionate guest chefs. Together the offerings create an evening you won’t soon forget!
Among the accomplished chefs already committed to the 2016-17 culinary series are Le Cordon Bleu, Paris-trained Jennifer Booker, an Atlanta private chef and author of Field Peas to Foie Gras: Southern Recipes with a French Accent; Chef Reid Harrison, graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, Chicago and now with White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia; Le Cordon Bleu, Atlanta-trained Kelli Taranto, of Bittersweet in Americus; Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, New York grad Holly Chute, chef at the Georgia governor’s mansion from 1999 to 2014 and current executive chef for the Georgia Department of Agriculture; and David Scarbrough, chef and owner of The LOCAL in Tifton, former chef at The Cloister, and alumnus of the Highlands Bar and Grill and Bottega in Birmingham.
With all the buzz in the community about the last supper series, we know tickets are going to sell out quickly. So whether you opt for season tickets to enjoy each and every one of these fabulous foodie experiences, or choose to pick the one dinner that especially intrigues, do not delay.
