Learn how to shop for ingredients and prepare a meal like one of Philly's best chefs! This new, intimate monthly afterhours dinner series will highlight how the Market can provide everything that you need to make a chef caliber meal at home. During the tour the chef will show you how to choose the best ingredients for your meal and where they chose to source them from within the Market. Next, they will walk you through a step-by-step demonstration on how to make one of the courses on the evening’s menu using the ingredients that were just purchased. Finally, you will be experiencing gustatory bliss as you enjoy a one-of-a-kind multi-course, seasonal dinner prepared in the open kitchen.
We are kicking the series off with Chef Kevin Sbraga. Best known for his winning turn on Season 7 of Bravo’s hit Top Chef, he is also an inventive executive chef who has helmed some the Philadelphia area’s most exciting restaurants of the past 10 years.
Most recently, Chef Sbraga appeared alongside Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi on FOX’s MasterChef Season 7. His ongoing work builds on the excellent reputation he earned for his thoughtful cooking at Sbraga, his first restaurant, opened in 2011, and his critically acclaimed subsequent venue, The Fat Ham. Sbraga was named one of Esquire magazine’s “Best New Restaurants,” keeping Chef Sbraga in the national limelight that he captured with his winning turn on Top Chef in 2010.
Chef Sbraga has two children, Jenae and Angelo, and currently resides in Philadelphia. He is passionate about giving back to the community and is proud to support childhood-related charities such as CHOP, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
