Taste, cook, and dine with local celebrity chefs with Google Offers’ Chef Exclusives in Austin and Dallas, TX
5/29/12
Whether they’re licking
BBQ
off their fingers or enjoying gourmet
food truck eats
, we’re pretty sure the thing Texans love most (maybe after football) is quality, locally-crafted food. To showcase that, Google Offers has set the table for Chef Exclusives, a series of inspired culinary experiences with chefs from acclaimed local restaurants in Austin and Dallas. For the next few weeks, customers will be able to purchase offers to join chefs for everything from cooking demonstrations at the chef’s home to a four-course brunch and cooking lesson with an executive chef.
The series kicks off on May 30th in
Austin
where we have 11 chefs from top-notch restaurants lined up. The first offer features celebrity chef and James Beard Award-winner,
Tyson Cole
(you might recognize his name from the Food Network's Iron Chef America). As the owner and executive chef of
Uchiko
, Cole will host Google Offers customers for a seven-course dinner in the restaurant’s private dining room.
Dallas will feature 12 experiences with chefs from the city’s finest restaurants, starting with none other than Top Chef’s own
Tre Wilcox
on June 11th. Wilcox, the executive chef at
Village Marquee Grill & Bar
, will give a cooking lesson and demonstration before enjoying a four-course brunch with the lucky group of Offers customers.
Even if you don’t live in Austin or Dallas you can spend time with both Tyson Cole and Tre Wilcox, as we've partnered with Zagat to host Google+ Hangouts with the chefs on the days their Google Offer launches. To join Tyson's Hangout, visit
Zagat’s Google+ page
and comment on
this post
to let them know you’d like an invite to the Hangout and return back on May 30th to try to grab one of the open spots. Even if you don't get to participate, you can sit back and watch the Hangout to indulge your inner chef.
