We love a good culinary smack down, especially when Chicago trumps all others in this field. This Saturday show your support of our food loving city and Chef Mark Maassen, a culinary instructor at Le Cordon Bleu Chicago, when he competes against Chefs from Los Angeles, New York and D.C. for the title of King or Queen of the Kitchen at Kenmore Live Studio. more ›

It seems as though everything Stephanie Izard does these days is becoming one long advertisement to the impending opening of the Drunken Goat. And they're all cool endeavors. But this Le Cordon Bleu online cooking demonstration with Izard sounds really cool, even if it's also being tied in to promote the release of Julie & Julia. Izard, a Le Cordon Bleu program graduate from the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, will be making Beef Bourguignon and Chocolate Chiffon Pie, inspired by the film. The demo can be streamed via uStream and discussion of the demo will be live via Twitter at twitter.com/LCBSchools (hashtag your tweets #LCBJulia to join in on the discussion). the demonstration starts at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
