The Madison Park Café turns 30 this year, and the Seattle-based French bistro is celebrating with a $30, prix-fixe, three-course dinner menu.
Owner Karen Binder and chef Rich Coffey are offering the special Tuesdays through Thursdays throughout the year, and guests can select from among starter, entrée and dessert choices. For more information, visit The Madison Park Café's Web site.
Megan Ketover, CPC, pastry chef of retail bakery outlet Bakery Hill at the Midwest Culinary Institute in Cincinnati, was selected to compete in an upcoming episode of Food Network Challenge. The American Culinary Federation named Ketover the Northeast Region Pastry Chef of the Year after she won the ACF Northeast Regional Conference competition in February.
Ketover will compete in Food Network's Cereal Bridges 2 Challenge, to be filmed April 30. "I am excited to have been chosen to compete for Food Network's Cereal Bridges 2 Challenge, and I am gearing up to try to create something that seems impossible--a bridge primarily made of Rice Krispies," she said in a statement.
After filming the Food Network Challenge, Ketover will continue preparing for the national ACF Pastry Chef of the Year competition, which will take place during the 2009 ACF National Convention July 11 to 14 in Orlando, Fla.
