The afternoon will be filled with side by side testing, TASTING, and a host of advanced topics that will excite even the most adventurous cooks. That evening, we'll experience a gourmet dinner spread with a hosted bar of beer, wine and some batched cocktails courtesy of CVI and our presenters. Special guest MEATHEAD from AmazingRibs.com will even be joining us to serve some show-stopping sous vide que.
