This new series brings a world-class chef to the institute for a full day of private kitchen instruction, cooking, great food, fine wines and fascinating lectures. The first Great Chefs event is Saturday, September 13, 2014, and features Chef Daniel Olivella of Barlata restaurant in Austin, TX, and B44, a Catalan Bistro in San Francisco, CA.
