Born from the \u201cBring Back The Chefs\u201d dinner series that Tommy Reddicks and Paramount Schools of Excellence produced as a way to support the culinary community during the height of the pandemic, this recent partnership with Culinary Crossroads allows for the continuation of their program and aligns perfectly with the mission.<\/p>\n

Our Sunday suppers began on August 15th, 2021 and will continue through September 2022. These limited seating suppers will feature some of the region’s top chefs preparing exquisite five-course meals, with ticket revenue used to compensate the chefs and to provide scholarship dollars to selected Ivy Tech culinary students.<\/p>\n

The Culinary Crossroads Supper Club is a welcomed addition to Culinary Crossroads’ portfolio of dinner programs focused on “Great Food, Great Talent and Great Causes”.<\/p>\n

SPRING DINNER SERIES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our inaugural 2021 Spring Dinner Series, presented by Ivy Tech Community College was held in April and May of 2021 at Highland Country Club and featured 12 talented Indianapolis-based chefs. Each week a different chef pairing delivered a unique dining experience for our attendees, and each chef highlighted a \u201ccause of choice\u201d that made a difference in their personal lives or community through their respective missions.<\/p>\n

Our chef pairings included:<\/p>\n

Neal Brown and Ben Hardy<\/strong><\/span>
Tony Hanslits and Regina Mehallick<\/strong><\/span>
Karl Benko and Chris Liechti<\/strong><\/span>
Steven Oakley and Carlos Salazar<\/strong><\/span>
Jonathan Brooks and Esteban Rosas<\/strong><\/span>
Greg Hardesty and Abbi Merriss<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Over 500 guests joined us including First Lady Janet Holcomb, Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, and Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann who each shared kind words about the dinners and the Culinary Crossroads initiative. Nearly 2 dozen partners and underwriters participated which made our dinner series a success.<\/p>\n

ON THE ROAD DINNER SERIES
<\/span><\/h2>\n

Based on the tremendously positive feedback received from the guests, chefs, sponsors, and stakeholders who attended or were involved in producing the 2021 Spring Dinner Series, we made a commitment to take the dinner series concept on the road to at least 6-8 other Indiana cities between the fall of 2021 and the end of calendar year 2022.<\/p>\n

Producing the \u201cOn The Road\u201d initiative provides the opportunity to hold true to the commitment made by Culinary Crossroads leadership to be a true statewide initiative. This ensures that when we talk about the \u201cpeople, products, places and services\u201d that define Indiana\u2019s culinary landscape, it encompasses Indy as well as Evansville and Jeffersonville in the south, Fort Wayne and South Bend in the north and many more of our state\u2019s great cities and towns.<\/p>\n

Each of the cities selected for the \u201cOn The Road\u201d campaign will have great stories to tell about their culinary history. And, just like in Indianapolis, the participating chefs will reflect the past, present and future talent in each destinations.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/dev.teamindiana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_3831-2.jpg” title_text=”IMG_3831-2″ _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”181px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-11px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Sponsors and attendees provided overwhelming support for the Dinner Series. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We will carry on with our underlying theme \u201cGreat food, great talent, great causes\u201d by highlighting Indiana food products, compensating our participating chefs and making a financial contribution to the chefs \u201ccauses of choice\u201d.<\/p>\n
