Executive Chef Ken Grogg, brother of Keith Grogg, will take you through cooking lessons and methods to make the most out of your grocery store run during the pandemic.

Ken will talk about the relationship with food across different cultures, the important role food plays during the holidays, what makes comfort food comfortable, why his own mental health inspired him to do this presentation, and more! He will demonstrate how to get the most uses out a whole protein (i.e. fish, chicken, etc.) to get the most of out of a trip to the grocery store during this challenging time with tips on:

• Simple butchering techniques;

• Use of different cooking methods;

• Use of global spices and ingredients;

• and Beverage pairing.

You do not cook during this hour! You get to sit back and follow along with the tips and recipes while Ken demonstrates his expertise and brings you laughs with his energetic spirit.

Bonus: Leave with new recipes for the winter! Recipes TBD.

Ken Grogg studied at the L’Hotel Sofitel School of French Culinary Skills, created all the stocks and sauces for Café Royale, part of the Sofitel’s restaurant business, and served as executive chef at the Minnesota Governor’s Residence for twelve years.

Living and working in Minnesota, Grogg loves Minnesota food — and he’s exceptional at making it. So it’s fitting that Grogg finds himself at Lunds & Byerlys, a family-owned Minnesota company where he’s the executive chef in charge of L&B Meal Creations, the meal-kit program that makes at-home cooking faster and more enjoyable, and makes meals more memorable.

Join BMCC and Ken on November 10 for a culinary good time!
