Featuring secret ingredients, young popular chefs and rockin’ live music, Bad to the Bone is a culinary event not to be missed.
Three of Texas’ youngest and most revered chefs will come together for this one-of-a-kind culinary smackdown at the legendary Stubbs Bar-B-Q in Austin on Jan. 15 from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
David Bull, executive chef of Bolla at The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa in Dallas; Shawn Cirkiel, executive chef of Austin’s Parkside Restaurant; and Paul Petersen, star of TLC’s BBQ Pitmasters and former executive chef of Café Cenzio at the Gage Hotel, each chose a secret ingredient they hoped would stump their competitors. At the event, the star chefs will create a dish that includes all three of the chef-picked ingredients, which could range from such diverse foods as grapefruit to cauliflower to oysters. This should get interesting!
Audience participants and a panel of noted culinary experts will sample the final dishes and use live text voting to determine the winning chef. DJ el john Selector will be spinning tunes until the final votes have been cast. After the winner is announced, the event turns into a live concert featuring Charanga Cakewalk, a seven-piece Latin band known for pan-Latin tunes.
Bad to the Bone promises to be a night of impressive culinary skill, savory food and lively entertainment.
