5 - "A New Perspective on Steak and Cheese" with Jason Gorman: Thursday, May 20th from 6:30-9:00pm
A true Midwesterner, Chef Jason Gorman was born and raised in Chicago. At an early age his family relocated to Atlanta, where the southern hospitality he experienced had a significant impact on his future style of cooking. His mother's Italian heritage and love of "Big Night" family dinner events showed him how food can be celebrated. This eventually led him to work in some fantastic restaurants including NAVA in Atlanta and both The Grape and Aquaknox in Dallas. After many excellent learning experiences, Jason was recruited during a nationwide search to head up the kitchen at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's four-star, four-diamond, fine-dining restaurant Dream Dance. Since joining Dream Dance, Chef Jason further elevated the restaurant's impeccable reputation on a local and national scale. Dream Dance has received AAA's Four Diamond award and the DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) Award from 2004 to 2007. The Capital Times of Madison, Wis., wrote "Dream Dance chef Jason Gorman may be the state's best culinary artist, creating cuisine in a most unlikely location that puts Wisconsin on the national culinary map." Dream Dance's seasonal menu features Jason's progressive style of cooking - a balance of innovation, comfort, bold flavors and fresh ingredients. His mission is to provide a cuisine that celebrates the history of Wisconsin. He proudly refers to it as "New Wisconsin Cuisine." Jason supports local farmers and his inspirations have created incredible dishes. In this class, you will get to experience a variety of grades and cuts of steak and different cheeses to accompany them. http://www.paysbig.com/dining/dreamdance/
