Bistro Blanc is one of the "Baltimore's 100 Best Restaurants"
"Part wine bar, part restaurant, this out-of-the-way haven in western Howard County is a fine showcase for the cutting-edge culinary talents of Marc Dixon, whose stylish food draws diners from Baltimore and Washington"
-- Richard Gorelick, Baltimore Sun
On Wednesday, November 7th, Chef Marc will be turning over his kitchen to a team of 3 Chefs for a "Pop- Up" restaurant style event. All 3 Chefs have worked for Marc in the past, and have already started their own amazing careers since.
The Line Up:
Tae Strain- Opened restaurant "Demi" in the basement of "Crush" located in Belvedere Square. There he was titled Best New Chef in Baltimore in 2011. He helped re-establish the small plate scene with-in the city and gave all hope of a reurning resaurant boom that Baltimore so desperately needed. Prior to his success in Charm City, Tae worked in Manhattan, NY for Michelin Star Chef Brad Farmerie at "Public", where he quickly climbed the ranks to Sous Chef. Most recently, Tae was invited by Chef Brad to open his newest location in Napa, California- Fagianis. After helping with this new venture, Tae took some time to travel through Asia, spending time in Hong Kong, Thailand and Korea, renewing his addiction to thai stick.
Ben Rosen- After spending over 2 years with Chef Marc, Ben and his fiance took an oppurtunity to move to Miami, Florida. There he is currently working under Celebrity James Beard Foundation Award-winning Chef Michelle Bernstein. While working at the famed restaurant "Michy's", Ben has learned to use his craft in working with tropical ingredients and seafood. He has also learned that Miami is Nothing like city portrayed in "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City". It is Ben's quick visit back in Baltimore this week in November that has sparked the "Pop-Up" restaurant.
Janny Kim- Janny, like Ben, has worked for Chef Marc in the past. In fact, at one time it was the Janny-Ben show running the kitchen with Chef Marc and staff. Janny received an offer to help out at Hanaro, a Sushi Asian American inspired restaurant located in Bethesda. After a short period of time, the owners soon realized the immense talent Janny possesed that they soon charged him with taking over the kitchen staff and re-creating the entire menu. After a year plus, Janny returned to Bistro Blanc through the urging of Chef Marc to be his new-right-hand-man, where he now oversees the daily running on the kitchen and its staff. Famous Quote: "30 minutes Chef!"
Ready for the "Freakshow"? Michael David will be joining us this Wednesday, October 3rd, for a 6 course dinner paired with his celebrated wine collection.
