Some of the Hottest Chefs in the Triangle

With the rise of TV cooking shows, dining competitions and culinary awards being featured in the mainstream news, popular chefs are becoming like reality stars.  Patrons don't just visit a restaurant.  They visit a certain chef's restaurant. The Triangle is rapidly becoming a foodie mecca with a lot of hot chefs serving up the best cuisine in their restaurants. 

This year, twelve chefs have the honor of starring in a fundraiser calendar where all proceeds support the Food  Bank of  Central and Eastern North Carolina. This debut calendar is called, "The Hottest Chefs of the Triangle Calendar"

Inside you'll find chefs from across the Triangle who craft masterpieces in their kitchens on a daily basis. This inaugural calendar features a diverse pool of chefs based on their culinary involvement and contributions to the Triangle's food community.

Here's who made the list:

Regan Stachler from Little Hen

Michael Pryor from Cave 1912

Teddy Diggs from Il Palio

Liz Reedy from Carroll's Kitchen

Mario Huante from Chef Mario

Daniel Benjamin from lucettegrace

Kim Hunter from Kimbap

Ricky Moore from Saltbox Seafood

Serge Falcoz-Vigne from Saint Jacques

Mike Lee from M Sushi & M Kokko

Ryan Conklin from REX Healthcare

Gabe Barker from Pizzeria Mercato

All profits from the calendar go towards the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. The Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina is able to help thousands of people facing hunger each year in their 34-county service area.

The cover chef is Michael Lee of M Sushi, which was revealed at the Hottest Chefs of the Triangle Calendar Launch Party hosted by Crank Arm Brewing Company on January 16, 2017. Chefs featured in the calendar were in attendance and proved light snacks and desserts. 

I was invited to join in the fun, but my two kids ruled the roost that night and I had to stay home. A mom's work is never done.
