Join Mark Peel and Other Top Celebrity Chefs for Intimate Culinary Outdoor Adventure Weekend, September 30-October 3, 2010 at The Resort at Paws Up

Imagine yourself standing side-by-side with Mark Peel, famed executive chef and owner, Campanile Restaurant and his new restaurant, Tar Pit, both in Los Angeles, conferring on the preparation of dishes—asking all the many questions you couldn’t ask when you watched him on Bravo’s Top Chef.

Dreams can come true.

From September 30 to October 3, 2010, Peel and four other top celebrity chefs will share their culinary artistry and secrets at “Montana Master Chefs,” an intimate weekend sponsored by The Resort at Paws Up, Montana’s premier luxury ranch, just a 30-minute drive northeast from Missoula International Airport.

Space is still available for extreme food and wine lovers to take part in this special weekend. In addition to Peel, who is the co-author of several books, guests will meet, explore and learn from other top chefs in the country including Brian Bistrong, executive chef and owner, Braeburn Restaurant, New York; Lee Anne Wong, visiting chef and alumni ambassador, the French Culinary Institute, New York; media personality and ‘cheftestant’ (Season 1) Bravo TV “Top Chef” and supervising culinary producer for “Top Chef” and “Top Chef Masters”; Dale Levitski, executive chef, Sprout, Chicago, and runner-up Bravo TV “Top Chef” (Season 3); and Wes Coffel, executive chef, The Resort at Paws Up, Montana.

“We created this culinary weekend to give adventurous guests with a passion for exquisite food and exceptional wines and opportunity to spend time with the chefs in the kitchen and outdoors as part of a unique and luxurious wilderness adventure,” says Larry Lipson, co-owner of The Resort at Paws Up.

Highly respected participating vintners include Trefethen Family Vineyards, Napa, CA; Merry Edwards Winery, Sebastopol, CA; and Grgich Hills Estate, Rutherford, CA.

Each of the featured chefs will prepare a five-course menu, paired with wine from the vintners. During the day, guests can either participate in cooking seminars with one of the chefs or spend time with them as they host fly-fishing, horseback riding and other outdoor wilderness adventures.

All-inclusive couple’s packages start at $4,323 and come with three meals per day including the evening dinners with featured chefs and wine pairings; champagne welcome; wine tastings; outdoor activities; airport transfers, on-property transportation and an exquisitely-appointed vacation home.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
