Hi,

I had an extended conversation with Steve Katz last week, who can best be described as a Food Wonk. He not only knows how he makes the pancake, he knows precisely how each ingredient interacts with each other at a molecular level.

There will be a tasting after the program, I suggest advising in advance to allow us to accomodate you better. Of course the last minute decision to attend is never discouraged as we have plenty of room.

Regards,

Cathy,

Is the restaurant at Kendall College open for lunch on Saturday?

Hi Cathy,

To date, there are 4 folks that RSVP'd for this saturday's event.... me included. Will keep you update if the number changes.

jlawrence01,

They only have dinner service at 6 PM on Saturdays. They are on spring vacation at this time, If you desire dinner, then I would call to verify. Kendall's website is www.kendall.edu

Thank you for posting about the event. I was very sorry that I would not be able to attend yesterday. It looks like it was very successful and educational.
