This weekend I am headed to the beautiful North Carolina coast to participate in the Beaufort Wine and Food Weekend. I'll be hosting 6 events, and there will be plenty of books on hand, so come on down and join us for this wonderful festival!
Here are the details from the official press release for the event:
Having just been named "the Coolest Small Town in America" by Budget Travel magazine, Beaufort is ready to have one of the very coolest events of the year as the Beaufort Wine & Food Weekend welcomes celebrity chefs, winemakers and sommeliers to share their talents and expertise with the Crystal Coast. From April 25 -29, Beaufort’s unique laid back charm, architecture and coastal setting will be the backdrop for the 21 different events showcasing award-winning wines from winemakers visiting from around the world and irresistible food from local and visiting celebrity chefs.
Top-notch celebrity chefs featured at the 2012 event include: Sandra Gutierrez, food writer and author of the recent best-selling cookbook, The New Southern-Latino Table: Recipes That Bring Together the Bold and Beloved Flavors of Latin America and the American South; Scott Howell, Chef-Owner of Nana’s in Durham, NC, 2012 James Beard Semifinalist for Best Chef Southeast whose restaurant has also been recognized as one of the 20 best organic restaurants in the country by Organic Style magazine; and Keith Rhodes, recently featured on Top Chef, from Wilmington.
