Each Tuesday, the Two Chefs and Big Lou’s culinary team will gather at the bistro to work on new dishes and menus and the doors will be thrown open to allow interested friends, regulars and food lovers in to try these new ideas and dishes while interacting with the chefs in an informal setting.

Last Tuesday, I dined with Kelly Marion who writes about food along with many other adventures for the Vancouver Observer. We were seated overlooking the open kitchen watching Chef Karl Gregg, Chef Alan Bosomworth and their chefs crew at work, cooking and plating the dishes that we all had that evening.

Home chefs and foodies will be able to get a little closer to the culinary process and interact with the Chefs picking up pointers for their own food adventures at home. The Chefs will be on hand to present and explain the dishes, field questions and, of course, solicit feedback.

Each Test Kitchen Tuesday menu is $28 per person and includes a minimum of three courses every week. As an added bonus Two Chefs and a Table will waive their normal corkage fee for guests who want to bring their own wine. Reasonably-priced paired wine, beer and cocktail pairings for each week’s menu will also be offered.

Whether for the unbeatable multi-course dining value and zero corkage fee or the opportunity to interact with the talented culinary team as they develop new dishes and menus, Test Kitchen Tuesdays offer something for every passionate foodie.

To make reservations for an upcoming Test Kitchen Tuesday, call 778-233-1303. Two Chefs and a Table is located at 305 Alexander St. and can be found on the internet at www.twochefsandatable.com.
