Sneak Preview: COOK’s July Schedule
As we do every month, we’re giving you, the wise Foobooz reader, a chance to get ahead of the curve and take an early look at the schedule of upcoming classes at COOK. Like always, we’re showing this to you today in advance of the schedule being released to the public tomorrow and tickets for classes going on sale at 2pm. Like always, there are a bunch of really interesting classes coming up that a lot of you are no doubt interested in.
But this time around, we also have something special. Something REALLY special. It’s a Foobooz Open Stove night that we organized as part of the 40 public events Philadelphia magazine is doing to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our Best of Philly issue. And it truly will be a night you don’t want to miss.
On Tuesday, July 30th, we have two of the best chefs in the area stepping into the cage. Joe Cicala of Le Virtu and Joey Baldino from Zeppoli will be coming together to fight it out in the biggest, craziest, most totally awesome Open Stove Masters night we have ever planned. There will be drinking. There might be dancing. There will be surprises and challenges and tests of manhood and… Well, we honestly don’t know what else will happen because we’ve never had a night on the books quite like this one.
We’re warning you early because this one is going to sell out in, like, a minute. COOK will be releasing a limited number of tickets tomorrow (which I highly suggest you purchase THE MINUTE THEY GO ON SALE), and then we will be opening up a second block of seats around July 1 (we’ll warn you before it happens). But however you choose to go about it, I highly suggest you join us. I promise that it will be a night for the history books.
