Ridgefield Playhouse to Welcome Chef Robert Irvine, 11/17

When Chef and TV star Robert Irvine is in the house, it is sure to be a cooking show like no other! The star of Food Network's Restaurant: Impossible, The Cooking Channel's Dinner: Impossible and a new show that premieres in November, Restaurant Express on the Food Network, Chef Irvine makes putting a meal together a media extravaganza.... just in time for at-home cooks to get some tips before the holidays at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Sunday, November 17, at 8 p.m. Irvine will walk into the theater with no knowledge of what he is about to face and cook in his multimedia, multi-sensory style. There will be a wine & cheese tasting in the lobby at 7:15 p.m.; a chef's signing of gift items will follow. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Hillside Food Outreach; ticket holders are encouraged to bring a canned food item for Hillside Food Outreach's Annual Food Drive. For tickets ($67; $150 VIP Gold Circle includes 6:30 p.m. cooking demo & backstage access), call the box office at 203-438-5795, or buy tickets online at ridgefieldplayhouse.org.

Multiple cameras will be set up on stage to provide a close-up view of the master at his craft. Audience members should expect to participate, rather than sit and watch, and even become Chef Irvine's sous chefs.
