Sat 17 Sep 18.00 - 18.00
Chef Dave is originally from Moline Ill. Boasting the largest Belgian population in our nation, flipping through the Quad Cities Area phone book shows why Moline continues to be ranked second in the United States for their Belgian heritage population.
Growing up in a Belgian family / community heavily influenced Dave’s cooking style without him even knowing. Eating as a young man was more about using everything available on the farm and in the community for Dave rather than knowing anything about classic Belgian dishes, which he says he knew nothing about until culinary school. At this dinner Dave will be hitting on said classics while using some newer culinary techniques to expand on these traditional flavors.
