We’ve got some exciting news for all residents at The Crossing: live culinary entertainment from some big name chefs will arrive for our property in August.

Aren’t you excited? If you love food, I can’t see why not. Of course, maybe you need a few more details. OK. I’ve got them for you (and will have even more specifics soon.You’ll want to bookmark this site, subscribe to the rss feed or just come back. It would make us smile!).

The Big City Chef blog recently featured Hash Brown Potato Cakes.

Maybe you’ve heard of or watched Food Network’s “Private chefs of Beverly Hills.” Well, the stars of the show–Big City Chefs–will be providing our apartment community with fun and fabulous food. They do live chef demos, wine lectures and exciting hands-on cooking classes. Go check out their website for more information and to read their blog. We’ll have dates and specifics soon.

Do you think this is a good idea? (Let us know what you think on Facebook.)

This is surely a great opportunity for food lovers–one that is unique to our wonderful California. Who knows some other good food happenings in the vicinity of The Crossing or in all of Anaheim?
