Foxwoods Resort Casino and Celebrity Chef Robert Irvine
Kick Off the Second Annual Savor Event
Savor: A Celebration of Food, Wine, and Spirits.
Last week I had the opportunity to visit Foxwood's newest restaurant, Vue 24, to meet with Chef Robert Irvine, celebrity chef and host of Foxwood's upcoming Savor CT, a three-day food and wine culinary celebration!
Chef Irvine was welcomed by members of the Foxwoods Resort Casino’s culinary and leadership team, Adam Odegard, Vice President of Food & Beverage, Executive Chef Edward Allen, Executive Pastry Chef Franck Iglesias and Felix Rappaport, President and CEO. In addition members of the Hartford's CT Convention Center welcomed Savor back, and Plan B announced their sponsorship of an exclusive dinner and tasting during Savor CT.
Vue 24, located on the 24th floor of the Grand Pequot Tower, features exquisite Continental-based cuisine with a modern flair. In addition, the restaurant offers stunning panoramic views of the south east Connecticut countryside.
Savor is a supporter of the Robert Irvine Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that honors the men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces. Local military members and veterans were also in attendance to help launch this year’s event. Savor will once again donate a portion of event ticket sales to the foundation.
