February 1, 2012For immediate release “Tennessee Flavors” Salutes Culinary Arts Program, Local Food and DrinkNew event benefits Tennessee’s chefs in training Allan Benton of Madisonville, Tenn., whose famed Benton’s Bacon has become an honored staple in restaurants around the country, will be the guest of honor March 8 at a new event that promises to be one of Nashville’s premier food and beverage celebrations. Tennessee Flavors, which benefits the Culinary Arts Program at Nashville State Community College, will feature more than two dozen of the area’s outstanding chefs, wine and beverage producers and food sources. Some 500 are expected to attend the inaugural party in the handsome NSCC Student Services Building on White Bridge Road. “The Nashville food community is always happy to give generously to Nashville’s charities, arts organizations and other worthy causes, but Tennessee Flavors provides a unique chance to support the future of our own profession,” says restaurateur Randy Rayburn. “One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to scholarships for NSCC culinary students – our future colleagues – and to much-needed kitchen equipment.” The culinary arts program at NSCC was founded in 1997. It enrolls more than 200 students, and in fall 2011 was forced to turn down another 30 applicants for lack of space. During Tennessee Flavors, professional chefs will be paired with students who will help prepare and serve the evening’s cuisine. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students, who appreciate the support of professionals as they begin their careers,” says Keith Ferguson, NSCC Foundation executive director. Tennessee Flavors participants include Jimmy Kelly's, Cabana, Sunset Grill, Midtown Cafe, Tayst, Boscos, Jackson's, Rumba, Provence, Noshville, Fido, Germantown Café, Germantown Cafe East, Bluebird Cafe, Copper Kettle, Chef Deb Paquette’s new Echo, 1808 Grille, Loews Hotel, The Wild Hare, Flyte, Chef Michael Osborne, CEC, Middle Tennessee Chapter of the American Culinary Federation, Chef Anna Notardonato-Hicks, Tutto Bene Bakery, Chef Cathy Hoormann, Kickin Coffee & Tea. Tickets, $50 per person in advance, are available online at www.tnflavors.org and can be purchased the day of the event for $60 pp.
