Two of North Hills’ Finest Chefs Accept The Epicurious Vino Challenge
Vivace Chef Ian Sullivan and Coquette Brassier Chef Rob Bland, both in North Hills, will participate in the Epicurious Vino Challenge on Saturday, May 30, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Hinnant Family Vineyards in Pine Level, North Carolina, a charitable fundraiser that challenges chefs to create excellent dishes that use one of the Hinnant wines as a key ingredient.
They join fellow Urban Food Group, Inc., chefs Jeremy Sabo of Porter’s City Tavern and Jeffrey Sattler, both on Hillsborough Street, as well as a host of other chefs.
All proceeds will go to help adults and children with disabilities through RHA Howell Care Centers.
The chefs drew the name of a wine from a hat and will create a dish using the wine each one drew. US Foodservice’s executive chefs Bob Passerelli and Mark Turner will serve as judges to determine which chef created the best dish. Two awards will be presented: the Judges’ H&H grand prize and the People’s Choice award, which will be determined by a vote from attendees at the event.
