What is so great is these chefs care so much about the food they make even when it is only a demo and no one is going to eat it. Great on stage, they really engage the audience. If you ever get the chance, it is worth it to go!   Michael Chiarello Canary Island Rock Boiled Potatoes They look like uncooked fingerling potatoes covered in flour. Actually, what they are, are savory candies disguised as potatoes. Simply cooked in "sea" water, these fingerlings transform into a treat. The salt is smooth like a powder, and when you bite in it blends magically with the potato. Boil the potatoes in sea salt water until done, pour off the water leaving a 1/4 inch, and shake the pan as the water evaporates. Cover with a towel and let them dry. Simple, elegant, special, and man are they good! This recipe alone made me want to go out and buy a Chiarello cookbook! Cullinary team, Chef Bridget Charters preps Michael Chiarello's "speed rack" for his upcoming demo. Going over all the products and what needs to be prepped for the stage. Lustau Pedro Ximenez sherry vinegar for a mint and favo mojo recipe. Michael's speed rack ready at the stage. Other ingredients that were requested by the chefs, are here in pictures.

No specific brands are asked for by the chefs and in many cases they have not seen our offerings before. Harissa was requested by Andrew Zimmern and the culinary crew. Imagine a bunch of Chefs who all cook your dinner in a condo after a long day! That's how well I eat while in Aspen and why I send my favorites to the event!
