SUMMARY:Dinner with Chef Jesse Vergen (Saint John Ale House) & Chef Sean La
 ceby (The Blomidon Inn)
DESCRIPTION:This dinner is inspired by the screening of Steak (R)evolution.
 \n\nGenerous wine pairings with every course\, taxes and gratuities includ
 ed.\n\nJesse Vergen\n\n\n\nHailing from New Brunswick\, Jesse Vergen is a 
 passionate chef that has made his mark by utilizing his province’s untap
 ped bounty of small farms and fisherman as a base for his craft. Raised on
  a small organic farm in Fundy Hills\, Jesse now resides on his family far
 m with his wife and three kids. Produce from his farm is readily consumed 
 by the hungry diners of the Saint John Ale House\, Smoking Pig BBQ and Cle
 aver Catering\, where Jesse has brought local flavours together with unpre
 tentious dining.\n\nJesse’s life is all about food – whether he’s in
  his kitchens\, on his tractor\, or hunting coastal marshes – flavour is
  always on his mind. A competitor on the fourth season of Food Network’s
  Top Chef Canada\, his restaurant has also been featured twice on the netw
 ork’s award-winning show\, You Gotta Eat Here! Featured in many newspape
 rs and magazines such as The Globe and Mail\, Maclean’s Readers Digest\,
  Chatelaine and EnRoute\, Jesse was also one of the contributing chefs in 
 Michael Smith’s documentary\, Village Feast.\n\nSean Laceby\n\n\n\nRaise
 d in Nova Scotia\, Sean Laceby grew up with a love for hunting\, fishing a
 nd exploring the wilderness. Upon graduating from high school\, Sean turne
 d his part time job of working in the kitchen of The Blomidon Inn to a ful
 l time position. As the year progressed\, so did his love for cooking\, al
 ong with his obvious talents for the culinary arts. Sean took a leave of a
 bsence from the inn to enrol in the Culinary Institute in Charlottetown\, 
 Prince Edward Island\, eventually graduating with two gold medal awards\, 
 along with a professional rating. Furthering his education\, he also studi
 ed at the Culinary Institute of America in both the Hyde Park and Napa Val
 ley campuses.\n\nSean’s tenure in Nova Scotia only helped to nurture and
  maintain his love for cooking wild game. For the patrons of Wolfville’s
  Blomidon Inn\, there is often the special opportunity to enjoy game that
  has been prepared by the chef of the inn. Sean has been big game hunting 
 in British Columbia\, and has also made a continental leap to hunt in the 
 Northern Transvaal of South Africa with his friend and collaborator\, Sher
 man Hines.
