Your experience at Chefs in the City will begin a wine reception and live music, accompanied by hors d’oeuvres provided by two of the finest central Ohio gourmet restaurants. You will also enjoy a book signing with Rick Bayless and our silent auction featuring fabulous culinary-themed packages. Following the reception, you will be welcomed into Battelle Studio and become a member of our “live” studio audience for the taping of the Chefs in the City television show.
