Chef & Shaker Challenge
June 3, 2017 @ 5:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$85.00Saturday (279)
This spectacular evening begins with a VIP cocktail reception welcoming famed “King Cocktail” James-Beard Award-winner, legendary mixologist, author and industry mentor, Dale DeGroff presenting stories and songs from legendary watering holes and his forty years behind the bar in “On The Town” presented by Gentleman Jack whiskey in the stunning theater at Scottish Rite Temple. Masterful story-telling, crafted cocktails from by-gone eras, and tunes from the Great American Songbook make for an unforgettable show!
When the show is over, the doors to the majestic ballroom swing open to the Chef & Shaker Challenge sponsored by Edible Magazine and the Cocktails & Culture liquor partners features some of our area’s best chefs pairing cocktails with their own spirited dishes, live music and one of the most smashing parties of the year. Guests pick the winning combination for the Popular Vote, and a panel of celebrity judges will choose their winner.
The Cocktails & Culture Festival awards $500 to each winning chef’s favorite local charity. 20% of ticket sales goes to Cooking With Kids!
Also, Jill DeGroff will again donate an original painting of a Santa Fe scene to be live auctioned at the event. 100% of the auction proceeds go to the Helen David Relief Fund supporting bartenders battling breast cancer. (Last year, her painting raised $2000 for this great cause!)
