Item Description

You have the unique opportunity to be a chef inside Bâtard — a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of Tribeca at 239 West Broadway (at North Moore). Whether you love food, love to cook or want to improve your technique this unforgettable experience is the right fit for you! Bâtard's Guest Chef for a Day program offers the unique experience of working inside a real professional kitchen. You will:

• Join Executive Chef & Partner Markus Glocker and his staff in Bâtard’s kitchen from 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM. The culinary team will show you how raw ingredients can be transformed into an exquisite meal that appeals to all of your senses.
• Spend approximately 4 hours in the kitchen. This is a great opportunity to work with ingredients that you love but rarely prepare for yourself or to work on a cooking technique with which you are not familiar.
• Commemorate your day with a dinner for two! After you are done cooking in the kitchen, invite a friend to join you for a relaxing gourmet dinner at Bâtard.  You will receive a $300 gift certificate to spend as you like on food and wine pairings!
• No experience necessary, just an appetite and a love of cooking!
