The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has again teamed up with the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation and the University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical College to present an evening of edible instruction focused on the many flavors brought to the table from Arkansas’s outdoors.
The third-ever “Taste of the Wild” wild game cooking experience will be held Thursday, April 23, at PTC’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Institute in Alexander.
Up to 150 guests will begin the evening at 5:30 p.m. with a round of cocktails from local beverage vendors. They will then be treated to a learning-and-tasting exposition thanks to the facility’s state-of-the-art demonstration kitchens. Eight talented chefs will share the secrets to transforming fish and game taken from the wild into delicious dishes ranging from appetizers to elegant main courses. Drink vendors will be on hand to match up your wild game dish with a paired beverage.
“We’ve dropped the price of attendance this year,” AGFC Education Chief Mary Beth Hatch said. “We want to include as many people as possible at the event for a night of good food, good fellowship and great instruction. People won’t just walk away with a full belly; they’ll be able to recreate all these dishes with their own wild game and introduce the outdoors to their friends, too.”
Tickets for the experience are $50 per person. Due to the adult beverages included in the ticket price, guests must be 21 or older to attend. Visit www.agfc.com/taste-of-the-wild to secure your tickets today.
