The Details:
Foodies rejoice as the Newport Beach Restaurant Association is back to sponsor the “Chef’s Cooking Pavilion” Expo, a premiere Orange County culinary event exclusively at the “Taste of Newport” September 16-18, 2011.  The “Chef’s Cooking Pavilion” was “all the buzz” at last year’s Taste of Newport serving up popular 45 minute live cooking demonstrations, complimentary tastings, beer and wine pairings.

The chef’s live cooking pavilion expo features the hottest Newport Beach celebrity chefs as they share their culinary flair for a live audience to taste and enjoy throughout the three day event. This complimentary culinary expo is a unique opportunity to personally meet the hottest Newport Beach celebrity chefs as they engage with local foodies and cook up some of their most sought after dishes and secret recipes.

Be sure to arrive early to see your favorite chef in action. There will also be foodie “sign up to win” promotional contests, wine and beer pairings and giveaways throughout the weekend at the Newport Beach Dining Booth including gift certificates to participating Newport Beach restaurants and complimentary Newport Beach Dining Guides.  The Taste of Newport “Chef’s Cooking Pavilion” Expo will also launch the Newport Beach Restaurant Association’s community marketing campaign for the much anticipated Sixth Annual Newport Beach Restaurant Week citywide culinary celebration which will take place January 20-29, 2012.
