Chef Cal & David Kinch performed for a sold out crowd at their cooking demonstration on Saturday. And then each created a course in the lunch that followed which also featured Keiko Takahashi and Michel Richard.
Chef de Cuisine Christophe Grosjean reunited with the Pourcel Brothers who flew in France to cook for the Rarities Dinner. 10 years ago, Christophe was being pushed around in their kitchen, at Jardin des Sens in France. Fortunately, Chris tophe has learned a lot since then and was able to assist them at the dinner. By the end of the weekend, Christophe’s thick French accent had miraculously reinvented itself.
By Saturday night, we got word that the fisherman weren’t going to be able to go out for spot prawns – which required Cal to rethink his plans for Sunday’s lunch. He decided to grill squab instead and serve it with lentils cooked with foie gras and black truffles. This ended up being the perfect plate to treat guests with as they stepped out of the drizzling and foggy Carmel afternoon.
Although the entire kitchen staff was not able to assist at the Highlands Inn, they did get to cook for guests such as Chef Rick Tramonto, Michael Ginor, and Michele Richard who dined in Marinus during the weekend.
