I feel like I just won the Lottery. A foodie friend of mine alerted me to a fantastic series of James Beard Dinners that are coming to the Roanoke Valley. Not only are these events at one of favorite foodie spots " Local Roots"Roanoke's first farm-to-table restaurant owned by a Chef Joshua Smith, but they will also be including a line of up of spectacular Guest Chefs. The Infamous "James Beard Winner" Chef Sean Brock from McGrady's out of Charleston, SC will be one of the first to arrive at these fabulous scheduled event. Having Chef Sean Brock come to Roanoke is like meeting "Keith Urban" on Stage. I have had the pleasure of dining at McGradys and I can tell you, we are in for a real treat. Chef Smith has lined up a "Rock Star" group of "James Beard" dinner events through 2010. Joshua's "Local Roots" will be moving into their new location adjacent to the Grandin Theater come July, but first Chef Smith will be flying out to do a PBS series on Heirloom Tomatoes with P. Allen Smith July 24th . Bravo to you Joshua.
