Wolfville, N.S. (July 21, 2014) – For the second time this summer, Front and Central Chef David Smart is teaming up with Devour! The Food Film Fest to host an experiential dinner and movie experience on Thursday, August 28.
The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a screening of Chef at Al Whittle Theatre, located on 450 Main St. in Wolfville. Jon Favreau stars as Carl Casper, a chef who suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant, only to find himself moving to Miami to launch a food truck. The film also stars Dustin Hoffman, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson and John Leguizamo.
