"Latin Cons" Brings Food Network Chefs to the Wine Country
Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2017 -- Food Network Celebrity Chef Olenka Orjeda is thrilled to welcome her “Cooks vs. Cons” adversary Yali Torres to the Wine Country for a special “smack-down” dinner on Sunday, February 26, 2017 at the Vintners Inn Event Center in Santa Rosa, CA. With a common passion for latin cuisine, the two were pitted against each other on the hit Food Network show that aired January 18, 2017. The result was a showcase of authentic Peruvian cuisine from Olenka and Yali prepared Puerto Rican dishes that impressed the judges but didn’t yield either a win in the competition. Given their convincing presentation, passion for latin cuisine and resulting friendship they have been dubbed the “Latin Cons”.
This unique dinner includes a multi-course dinner with dishes prepared at the show from each chef as well as “behind the scenes” Q&A that reveals their experiences behind being on a reality television show.
Olenka has been hosting sold-out pop-up dinners in Northern California for the past two years. Tickets are limited to this event and available on-line at Eventbrite ("LATIN CONS" comes to Wine Country) for $95 per person (including tax and service). A complimentary pisco sour will be served during the cocktail meet & greet but guests are encouraged to bring their own wine to share at the table.
