Don’t miss out on a culinary exploration of “the other America” hosted by Cooking Light Executive Chef Billy Strynkowski

Few regions of the world boast such a rich culinary tradition as South America. And if trends continue, more of its foods will go from humble to high chic as Americans discover just how incredible Latin flavors can be. South America is a continent of explosive flavors and culinary sophistication.

From anticuchos to sopa paraquaya these foods reflect a rich and diverse culinary landscape and this is one class you won’t want to miss!

Chef of the Fest: The “Chef of the Fest” competition is an action-packed culinary showdown involving all chefs during the Grand Tasting event on November 20. Chefs compete in one of five categories and are judged by a panel of local and national celebrity chefs, authors and members of the food and wine media. Through a tiered judging process, one chef is selected as the best representation of innovative, fresh, flavorful cuisine and crowned “Chef of the Fest” walking away with up to $50,000 in cash & prizes and some serious bragging rights

Cookbook Author Signing: Celebrity chefs will be on hand in the Border’s Bookstore book tent to autograph copies of their best selling cookbooks.

Live Entertainment: Live musical performances will take place on both ends of the Festival.

The Clay Colton Band has been entertaining audiences across Southern California with an eclectic blend of authentic original and popular music since 1999.

While opening for the Zac Brown Band, placing 3rd in Kenny Chesney’s “Next Big Star” competition, and winning the Viejas Casino/KSON $10,000 Big Country Showdown, the Clay Colton Band has made a respected name for itself in San Diego and can be found playing regularly at many hot spots throughout Southern California and the western US. Their music crosses through every modern genre while tapping into the influence of musical history from the past 60 years of popular music. Throughout their experiences of performing up to 240 shows per year for almost a decade to a variety of fans of all backgrounds and ages, the CCB has discovered their own sound that is at the heart of American culture.

Audiences have come to love the band for their entertaining demeanor, rustic rock sound and energetic stage presence. Some would categorize them as Americana, Southern Rock, Alt-Country, or Alternative Rock, but the truth is, they simply ROCK, with any adjective you prefer to put in front of the word. They can be found online at www.claycolton.com   http://www.claycolton.com/
