Blue Lemon's Bryan Malcarney to Guest Chef @ Westport Farmers' Market July 10th

Executive Chef Bryan Malcarney will be the "Guest Chef" at The Westport Farmers' Market on July 10th. Chef Malcarney is the creative force behind Blue Lemon in Westport and Rory's in Darien. Chef Malcarney was classically trained at New York’s French Culinary Institute and Blue Lemon has earned rave reviews from both the New York Times and Zagat's. 

This Thursday, Chef Bryan will be demo'ing a wonderful summer recipe for Crudo of Wild Striped Bass (view recipe below). Don't worry...you get to taste it too. Samples will be available after the recipe demonstration. 

When asked why he feels so strongly about supporting The Westport Farmers' Market, Malcarney states, "I support the farmer's market because I like supporting people that are in similar endeavors as I...ndependent people that are working hard for themselves and are actually creating something that betters the overall community. Plus nothing beats a real home grown tomato."
