ICC Insider Pass

• You’re a total foodie, right? You purchased Life on the Line by Grant Achatz as soon as it was published, and you were devastated when el Bulli closed. You’re impassioned about the future of dining; what’s it going to be? Molecular, farm-to-table, or foraging for ultra-local bounty?

  Here is your chance to take your hobby to the next level! Be one of only 50 consumer insiders to slip into the StarChefs.com 6th Annual International Chefs Congress, an exclusive industry-only event featuring innovative chef demonstrations and expert panels on relevant industry topics, as well as smaller hands-on techniques workshops and live competitions. Think Fashion Week for foodies!

  ICC is a three-day culinary symposium where the world’s most influential chefs, pastry chefs, mixologists, and sommeliers present the latest techniques and culinary concepts to their peers. Get up close and personal with the industry’s finest and most respected members, such as:

• Grant Achatz of Alinea

• The theme this year is The Sixth Sense: Intuition, Emotion and Experiential Evolution in Dining. The presenting chefs will serve up their culinary interpretations in demonstrations on the Main Stage by breaking down an animal, choosing the perfect beverage pairing, or plating an elaborate dessert. Chefs and sommeliers will also be competing for the title of “ICC’s Best” in the 2nd Annual StarChefs.com Pastry Competition and the 2nd Annual StarChefs.com Somm Slam.
