Fellow Chefs,

The Club Chefs of Connecticut would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to General Manager Brian Dwyer, Chef James Chizmadia and the rest of the Brooklawn team for an unparalleled effort in making the Club Chefs January meeting a triumphant success.

Chef James prepared a stylish menu of Foie Gras in an Herb-Salt Crust, Bistro Salad with Shredded Duck and Sherry Vinaigrette, Cast Iron Seared Wellington Farm Chicken and a selection of Fine Cheeses which ended our luncheon perfectly.

Thanks to our three guests, Bella Bella Gourmet’s Bob Ambrose, Wellington Farm’s George Oppenheimer and Michael Pelletier of Fountainhead Wines who spoke eloquently on behalf of their products, and to Creative Wholesale Meats Barry Schwartz and John Cuddy for providing the educational aspect of the day. 

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!
 

Come explore Korea through Flushing Queens and visit some of the finest markets in the country as you drown in its unique culture

          Sonny Hahm, Owner of Sonny’s Produce & Oriental Specialties in Greenwich has
put together an exclusive day for us as we tour many Korean marketplaces and experience the vast ingredients and foods that they have to offer. Flushing Queens is considered home to many Korean’s immigrating into the United States.

 We will delight in traditional Korean sushi at Kum Kang San as well as Chap Che, home made Yam Noodles with Spinach, Tree Mushrooms and other exotics. Afterwards, our journey will take us to Kang Suh in Yonkers where we will revel in joy of great Korean Barbeque. Don’t miss out on this special event as we broaden our horizons and educate ourselves in other world cultures.

Korean Proverb
티끌모아 태산. (Tikkul moa tae-san.)
One can build a mountain by collecting specks of dust
Meaning: Since you can build a mountain by collecting dust, even if it might
take a long time, if you work hard, you might be able to obtain your goal.

Thank you for your support of this great organization
