Bubby's Cook-Off
Kosher cooking competition happening tomorrow at Vie!
Bubby’s Cook-Off
“After hosting an annual gala for a number of years, I thought it would be nice to shake things up a bit and make it fun and exciting,” says Rebbetzin Miriam Shemtov, the co-founder of Lubavitch Bucks County. Rather than hold an everyday fundraiser for his Philadelphia Friendship Circle-North and its special needs children’s charity as he’s done in the past, the rabbi decided to flip the game with Bubby’s Cook-Off, a culinary competition happening tomorrow night at Vie (923 North 2nd St.).
And the competition’s culinary angle is the most fascinating aspect of the night. The chefs have been given an extra challenge: make their meals Kosher.
The evening's lineup includes chefs Jean-Marie Lacroix from Brûlée Catering (who’ll prepare chicken matzo dumpling with black Perigord truffles, leek, gold leaf potato soup), Cuba Libre’s Guillermo Pernot (hummus kawarma with lemon sauce), Alla Spina’s Mike Deganis (whole roasted lamb shoulder, red onion jam and hot sauce), Cescaphe’s Jayson Grossberg (salmon with pickled beets, parsley and orange), Rat’s Shane Cash (red wine braised brisket, sweet potato puree, pickled pearl onion, tzimmes condiment and spiced tuile) and a ringer, Yehuda Sichel of Citron & Rose (beef goulash knish with lamb belly vinaigrette). And Sharon Pinkenson, Hope Cohen and Audrey Clair Taichman are one the judging panel.
“There are only so many sit down dinner fundraisers one person can attend and by having guests at Bubby’s Cook-Off meet and greet with chefs, taste the food, and do it all for a good cause – it’s the perfect combination of fun, food and philanthropy.”
The cook-off kicks off at 5:30 and the $175 tickets include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres as well as Israeli wine pairing. Head on over to Bubby's Cook-Off to reserve your spot.
