Get in Line for the North Market's Cooking (and Shopping!) with Chefs Series

Why rephrase?  Here's the press release, hot of the presses.  Or the intertubes, or whatever:

NORTH MARKET CHEF SERIES RETURNS
TO THE DISPATCH KITCHEN

Columbus, Ohio- Based on the overwhelming popularity of the North Market’s first Chef Series cooking classes in the Dispatch Kitchen we have brought three new additions to the franchise! Making its debut is the “Shop with the Chef” sequence to be held on Saturday mornings during the Farmers’ Market season. Class participants will accompany the chef as they shop with North Market farmers and merchants and devise an impromptu menu whose components will include the freshest local ingredients available at the market on that day. Returning is the “Evening Chef Series” sequence with sessions in the summer and the fall. All classes are designed as demonstration classes where participants watch as the chef prepares a special meal and then get to share in the delicious results!

“We are delighted that the first Chef Series cooking classes were so popular that we are able offer another program,” said David Wible, Executive Director for the North Market.  “The classes were so well-liked with the public that we sold them out the first time and we are hoping to do so again. Apparently the chefs enjoyed them too as many of them have returned to teach our upcoming classes.”
