Chef Paul Virant is packing up his knives and his bounty of locally farmed ingredient. No, he’s not leaving Vie. He wants to bring a food revolution to your kitchen and teach you and your best buds how to apply his skills for creating impeccable contemporary American cuisine.

For $100 per person and a group up to 12 people, Chef Virant will demonstrate his techniques and bring the wine to pair with your home-spun meal. Classes must be scheduled Monday through Thursday by calling 708.246.2082.

Sounds like the making of the best BYO concept ever - BYOBFC (Bring Your Own Booze, Food and Chef).
