PROVIDENCE – Four local chefs and a mixologist will represent the city at the 9th Annual StarChefs International Chefs Congress in Brooklyn, N.Y., from Oct. 26-28.
According to its website, www.starchefs.com is a magazine for culinary insiders that generates original content globally using in-person tastings and interviews.
Mixologist Jay Carr of The Eddy will provide samples of his “Orange Julius Caesar” at the Congress’ cocktail event on Oct. 27, while the four chefs will be preparing samples of special dishes. Chefs are Melissa Denmark of Gracie’s and Ellie’s Bakery; James Mark of North; Jake Rojas of Tallulah’s Taqueria; and Derek Wagner of Nick’s on Broadway.
Mark also will participate in a panel discussion on “The New Chef and a Call to Community.”
“One of the major reasons we were just voted ‘America’s Favorite City’ in Travel + Leisure’s recent poll, is because of the strength of our culinary offerings,” said Martha Sheridan, president and CEO of the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We are proud to have such excellent representation of our city and are thankful to our delegation for giving up their time to come with us to New York.”
The visitors bureau, which is coordinating the trip, is a nonprofit with a mission to help expand the local hospitality economy. For information, contact (401) 456-0200 or visit www.GoProvidence.com.
