Food Network’s three-time “Chopped” champion, Chef Marc Anthony Bynum, is bringing his culinary prowess to the Boathouse at Forest Park on Thursday, Sept. 12 where he’ll be cooking for a cause – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri.
On the menu, a five-course, Southern-inspired meal.
The throwdown with Chef Bynum begins with old- fashioned cornbread, biscuits and maple butter jam, followed with Sweet Potato Ravioli with candied pecans, pork consommé, wild mushrooms and black garlic. A salad of collard greens and roasted beets with goat cheese mousse, and crispy shallots drizzled with a citrus vinaigrette precedes a Brewer’s Craft Double Pork Chop. The finale – Sugarfire Pecan Pie served with a scoop of Calhoun peach vanilla ice cream and a bourbon caramel glaze.
It’s a great menu to kick off the fall season, served with a side of feel good. And you will feel good knowing 50% of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri.
Boathouse at Forest Park is an iconic dining experience famous for waterfront dining, paddle boats on the lake, live music and events such as Bynum’s dinner. Tickets are $60 per person, and reservations are required. For more information, visit boathousestl.com.
