We always try to keep the press page up to date on our site but we did something pretty fun the other day that we wanted to share with everyone.

I was interviewed by KYW 1060’s Hadas Kuznits outside of the Warwick Hotel and Tavern 17 about the upcoming Pro ChefAMe. Last week it aired on the radio and a copy of it is also online. Go ahead and give it a listen and we hope to see you out at a future ChefAMe event!

Springwise found Open ChefAMe

We love press. We especially love good press. That’s why we’re excited to share a post that Springwise, a site dedicated to finding the most interesting entrepreneurial ideas, wrote about Open ChefAMe today. Check it out over on their site or read an excerpt below.

If the underground restaurant known as Charlie’s Burgers departs from the norm in part through its secrecy and its constantly changing venue, Open ChefAMe is in some ways its opposite, featuring instead the creations of different aspiring chefs at each of its well-publicized monthly events.

Through the participation of a few Philadelphia restaurants, Open ChefAMe offers what it calls an “open mic night” for local aspiring chefs on one Monday each month. The chosen culinary talents for each event get to pick the menu for a three-course meal, take over the kitchen at the participating restaurant and then cook dinner for a crowd.

Philly.com joined us at our third Open ChefAMe event and shot some great video of some of the chefs and the rest of the evening. Listen to some of the things that were cooked up and hear some of our guests share their love of food, friends and fun.

Open ChefAMe on 6abc!

We’ve been very lucky so far with our food venture, Open ChefAMe. We’ve had major press from local papers, foodies, blogs and more and now we have yet another notch in our belt. 6abc’s program, FYI Philly, covered the whole second Open ChefAMe. They shared with the Philadelphia community what Open ChefAMe is all about.

Thank you to Marilyn, Adam Joseph, Karen Rogers and everyone else involved with this television program. You were a pleasure to have at the event and we hope you’ll join us again soon for a delicious meal (maybe even on June 22nd).
