Chris Ford, Trummer's on Main (Virginia), is one of the nicest chefs that I met.
He made Chocolate Soup, Cocoa Nib Sherbet, Cinnamon Marshmallow, and Devil's Food Cake paired with Allagash Black. He said he was honored by the award and, "I could die today, and I would be complete." I've got to make it out to his restaurant. Not 1, not 2, but 3 members of their team received Rising Star Awards. Well done!!

I met Austria native, Stefan Trummer, Trummer's on Main (Virginia), shortly after that. He said when they called him about the award, he said, "Are you serious?" He was thrilled that 2 people from Trummer's were being honored. He was making these awesome flaming cocktails. The Reefer: Rum, Fresh Mint, Virginia Honey, Angostura Bitters, Barboursville Brut, and Bouquet Garnis Steeped in Absinthe

Hi Lauren
I came across your blog when I was looking for past events of starchefs.com Rising Stars Revue. I was just wondering if that's the same event you went to here. Was it easy to talk to the chefs, I mean to say as in were they too busy to have a word with you or where they open to have a 'hello'? Also was the crowd a lot of foodie enthusiasts/bloggers/journalists or other chefs? Thanks for any help. I'm looking forward to attending the LA 2014 event myself!
Hi Carol, Hope it is a great event. The chefs are usually pretty busy, but most are happy to make time to chat too!
