The Club Culinaire of Southern California will hold its annual Picnic des Chefs on Sunday, May 20th at Vasa Park in Agoura Hills at 2854 Triunfo Canyon Road, where 4 acres of lush mountain side await us.  LA’s top chefs will create authentic dishes from various regions of France.  Participating chefs (partial list): Marius Blin (Hotel Sofitel); Xiomara Ardolina (Xiomara); Michel Blanchet (Michel Cordon Bleu); Joe Miller (Joe’s Restaurant); Josie LeBalch (Josie Restaurant); Neal Fraser (BLVD); Yvan Valentin (Sweet Temptation); and Christian Kaufman (Emil’s Swiss Pastry). The party starts at 11:30am until 4:30pm.

Chefs will cook up over 700 lbs. of meat, poultry and fish, 500 lbs. of vegetables, 200 lbs. of cheeses, 500 baguettes, 50 artisan breads, and much more.  Over 50 wineries will be pouring their favorite selections for guests to taste.
