What's Cooking at Kitchen 305?
Kitchen 305 recently opened up at the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort, in the space previously occupied by Chef Michael Blum's Michael's Kitchen. The 3,200-square-foot eatery is outfitted with an open kitchen, eight-person chef’s table, 100-inch flat screen and a 40-foot bar. Check it out for yourself during this cooking demo, summer prix-fixe menu launch and book signing by celeb chef Marc Cummings.
Celebrity chef Marc Cummings, a trained and certified Master Chef at the prestigious Cordon Bleu in Paris and author of Tastes of the World: 50 Original Recipes for World Class Entertaining, will make a special guest appearance on July 11 and July 12 to launch the Kitchen 305 summer prix-fixe menu, which will be available through the end of August.
The four-course, $24 menu ($36 with wine-pairings) includes the signature Blue Medal Caesar Salad, which has been awarded five Blue Medals by the Master Instructors at the Cordon Bleu; a 22-Minute Parmesan Shrimp Risotto, a dish that won top in its competition against rivals of the Cordon Bleu, the Escoffier of Paris, and a So, So Juicy Rosemary Chicken in Brown Butter. Save room for dessert, a homemade Not Your Grandma’s Strawberry Shortcake topped with a Grand Marnier Cream.
Chef Marc Cummings will demo the menu to the public on Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 pm. Added entertainment includes chef trade secrets — like how to cut an onion without letting your eyes water — followed by a cookbook signing. Tastes of the World will be available for purchase for $15.
Cooking demos begin at 7:30 pm Friday, July 11, 2008 and Saturday, July 12, 2008. For reservations, please call 305.749.2110.
