Chef Demos
Some of Santa Monica’s finest Chef’s will dazzle Taste goers with
culinary demonstrations throughout the day.
The program of demonstrations are developed to wow the crowd, and to
give novice gastronomes basic instruction so they can try recreating the
menus at home. "We have some tantalizing presentations and charismatic
chefs slated for the Demo Stage. I advise all home-chefs to bring their
notepads and cameras. We’re having a lot of fun putting the event
together and expect the crowd will enjoy the show." states Kathryn
Dodson, President and CEO of the Chamber.
Music
If cooking demonstrations are not your style, the food and music, will
more than sooth the soul. ROUTE 66 will get your toes tappin’ as their
cool jazz, rockin’ blues, R&B, and classic rock repertoire will fill the
air as you enjoy fabulous taste treats from the most recognized
restaurants in Santa Monica.
