Celebrity Chef Tour
Michael Symon (pictured, left) and Jonathan Waxman (pictured, below right) arrive on Hawaii’s Kohala Coast later this month as part of the James Beard Foundation Celebrity Chef Tour (the first time it’s being held on the Hawaiian islands).
They’ll be at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows, 68-1400 Mauna Lani Drive, Kohala Coast, Island of Hawaii, on January 21 and 22, 2011.
Symon, who has appeared on Iron Chef America and other Food Network shows, including the recently launched Food Feuds, owns Lola and Lolita restaurants in Cleveland, Ohio.
Waxman, an author who’s appeared in Top Chef Masters on Bravo, is chef-owner of Barbuto restaurant in Manhattan’s West Village and has also worked at Chez Panisse in Berkeley and Michael’s in Los Angeles.
Both chefs will collaborate with Mauna Lani’s Executive Chef, Sandy Tuason. The trio will visit Hawaii Island farms to pick seasonal ingredients for the weekend.
