Tuesday, Nov. 5: Junior Top Chef

Chambers Bay Grill

By Volcano Staff on October 28, 2013

After Don Draper, Anthony Bourdain is the coolest cat on cable: Erudite, well-spoken, punk rock literate and fearless - if the locals eat it, he'll have two and a beer. His new Parts Unknown on CNN is ostensibly about globetrotting and cultural immersion, but Bourdain's all-in gusto for chowing down on anything new and possibly fatal is almost as impressive as his ability to pull off wearing an earring in his 50s. It's doubtful Bourdain will ever visit the South Sound, but if he did, it could be to watch the 2015 U.S. Open Championship at Chambers Bay. Speaking of the University Place golf course and cooking, Chambers Bay Chef Josh Corcoran and his team offer a Junior Top Chef cooking class series for South Sound youth. The series will cover basic kitchen etiquette right up to creating world-class desserts. As a final exam, the young chefs will prepare a formal dinner for special guests. Who knows? Maybe the next Bourdain will emerge from this class. Our money is on the trash talkin' kid.

JUNIOR TOP CHEF, 6-8 p.m., Nov. 5-Dec. 3, ages 9-15, Chambers Bay Grill, 6320 Grandview Dr. W., University Place, $120 per junior, 253.460.4653
