Celebrity Chefs and The Amazing Kreskin at Chocolate Expo on Jan 29
|
The Chocolate Expo returns to The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk on Sunday, Jan. 29, not only with gourmet chocolates, baked goods and specialty foods but also with free celebrity appearances and presentations. Three celebrity chefs will present 30-minute demonstrations in the IMAX Theater:
Tony Albanese, pastry designer and former assistant to Buddy Valastro of TV’s “Cake Boss,” at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Barret Beyer of Fox TV’s “Hell’s Kitchen” at 2 and 4 p.m.
Larry Rosenberg, recipe-book author, owner of Bacon Bites and soon-to-be-seen on Food Network, at 1 and 5 p.m.
Plus, at noon in the IMAX Theater, guests will be astounded by the insights and unknowable answers of The Amazing Kreskin. Seating of 310 for the chef demonstrations and The Amazing Kreskin will be on a first-come, first-seated basis. This year’s Chocolate Expo also celebrates cinematic chocolate history by welcoming Paris Themmen, who played Mike TeeVee — the boy in the cowboy outfit — opposite Gene Wilder in “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” Themmen will sign autographs and pose for photographs throughout the day.
