We Love It!

Featuring Executive Chef Janet Hedstrom, Chef Kurt Olson, Chef Scott Harberts & Chef Kim Marshall | February 9, 2008
We Love It! was the theme for our Valentine’s Chef Dinner, and we did! Each chef created a dish that, for them, evokes love & passion. After six mind–blowing rounds of the Chateau’s most amorous wine & food pairings, our coupled guests didn’t linger very long over the chocolate–dipped strawberries .... Perhaps they had somewhere else to be, wink–wink.
