Join Seattle's celebrity chefs for The Bite Cooks! presented by Comcast and DEX. For the past five years, this high-energy cooking demonstation has been the most exciting attraction at the Bite™, and this year will be even hotter! The event brings together in one venue an elite group of Seattle area chefs for cooking demonstrations that are high energy and creative presentations on a large, professionally designed stage by Bradlee Distributors Inc.  Add new recipe ideas to your repertoire and take the chance to see how your favorite chefs make that special dish!   In 2008, we are thrilled to welcome new emcee Thierry Rautureau- The Chef in the Hat!!!, of Rover's.   Thierry brings years of culinary experience and a new enthusiasm to this year's event, and we can't wait to see him in action!

The Bite Cooks! is an exciting and interactive stage show where local celebrity chefs test their speed and creativity in front of a live audience! This is more than just a "cooking demonstration," it's where the culinary arts become "show-biz." Celebrity chef demonstrations are 30 minutes and audience members will have a chance to comment and ask questions of these culinary artists at the end. So much to see, your taste buds and minds will sizzle!

The Bite Cooks! is located in the Alki Room which is on the north side of KeyArena on the Seattle Center campus. It is adjacent to The Alley, hosted by Tom Douglas.  A special thanks to Food Services of America for providing our chefs with all of their cooking spices and utensils.  Don't miss your favorite chefThe Bite Cooks! is proud to welcome print sponsor Northwest Home Magazine.  Don't forget to check out the July/August issue of the magazine for Bite Cooks!  information!
