Chef Lee is back with a new soup! Lee Chizmar of Bolete and Mr. Lee's Noodles, who led a sold out demonstration at last year's Souper Bowl, will teach you how to make gumbo this time around. This is the perfect addition to your big game party!
Don't miss this opportunity to get insight from a James Beard Foundation nominee - both for Best Chef and Outstanding Restaurant - in an intimate setting.
The demonstration will last about 45 minutes, giving plenty of time for Souper Bowl ticketholders to get to both events! Note that you do not have to have a Souper Bowl ticket in order to attend this demonstration, however.
CHEF LEE CHIZMAR
Originally from Allentown, Penn., Lee has always had a strong relationship with food, ever since his introduction to oysters (still his favorite food…and our 4-year-old’s as well!) at the ripe age of three.
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park in 2000, he traveled to San Francisco to work at Bradley Ogden's Lark Creek Inn in Marin County. There he developed his love for, appreciation of, and dedication to serving locally grown, seasonal ingredients. He visited farmers' markets where the tomatoes were enjoyed like apples and the back door of the kitchen was a rotating door of local farmers peddling their perfect produce. He spent four years there being mentored by Chef Jeremy Sewall and was thrilled to get the call when Sewall was putting together his "dream team" to travel back East and open Great Bay in Boston, for Chef Michael Schlow and celebrated restaurant guru Christopher Myers. Great Bay received great accolades upon opening, including "Best New Restaurant in the Country" by John Mariani of Esquire magazine. After quickly being promoted from sous chef to chef de cuisine in the first nine months, the young Chizmar was then asked to take the reins when Sewall left to open his own restaurant.
It was in Boston that Chizmar was introduced to New England's bounty of the sea—access to some of the world’s freshest oysters, lobsters and fish—but more importantly, Erin, his future wife.
