What: Caring Chefs

Caring Chefs is certainly the premier food event of the year here in Jacksonville. All proceeds go to the Children’s Home Society, so ticket holders can have both the satisfaction of helping those less fortunate and be able to sample food from some of the First Coast’s finest restaurants. For the next few weeks we’ll be profiling some of the chefs involved. This week, we’re profiling Blue Bamboo’s Dennis Chan.

Name: Dennis Chan

Restaurant: Blue Bamboo Restaurant and Wine Bar

EU: Why do you participate in Caring Chefs? How many years have you done the event?
DC: We’ve participated in caring chefs for 3 years now. The event supports the Children’s Home Society, and they are an amazing organization.

EU: What are the three ingredients you can’t live without?
DC: Ginger, Garlic, Scallions. They are the Asian mirepoix.

EU: Appetizer entree or dessert? Why?
DC: Dessert. I have such a sweet tooth!

EU: What’s the strangest dish you’ve ever prepared?
DC: I once tried to make a turducken. It’s a Turkey, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a chicken. What a nightmare!

EU: What’s your favorite dish to eat? Prepare?
DC: Anything Fried. Fried is my favorite flavor.

EU: Can you let us in on what you’ll be serving at the event?
DC: Every year we have so many requests for our chile noodle salad. We will be serving that, and a couple of other surprises!

Tickets for the event are $60, but it’s best to buy them in advance, since they are generally sold out by the night of the event. Go to chsfl.org/buckner to register for tickets or call (904) 493-7739 for more info.
