Chef Talk with Margot Blondet featuring the French region of Burgundy

October 19, 2024 By Lisa Grigsby

This dinner is the first in a series we are calling “Chef Talks.” During this evening you will dine with our featured Chef of the month, enjoying a prix fixe menu that highlights and explores a specific region, certain ethnic cuisine, or ingredient that inspired that Chef to step into the kitchen.

Our First Chef is, of course, Chef Margot Blondet. A culinary heavyweight in Dayton, she is the owner and Executive Chef of both Manna Uptown and Salar Restaurant & Lounge in the Oregon District. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu in her native Lima, Peru, Chef Margot’s style of cuisine marries her Peruvian and French heritage. In this, our first Chef Talks Dinner, Chef Margot will be introducing and exploring the French region of Burgundy.
