Guest Chef Dinner

Guest Chef Dinner –

On Friday, July 23rd and Saturday, July 24th Café Bacchus is excited to have Andrew Trumbull as our Guest Chef.
Trumbull says that he became hooked on cooking at a very young age by helping his Dad prepare dinner at home. His Father Dr. William Trumbull, Interim Dean at the College of Business and Economics, is an excellent cook and taught Andrew a lot about cooking. Andrew says “it was his amazing, home-cooked meals that got me passionate about food and cooking.”

Andrew’s passion for food was further fueled by adventures while traveling. After Trumbull graduated from Morgantown High, he lived in Mt. Isa (a small mining town in the outback of Queensland, Australia.) There he ran his own kitchen and created the lunch and dinner specials. This experience played an integral role in his desire to become a chef. After a year in Australia, he attended WVU in the fall of 2003. Majoring in International Studies, he had the opportunity to do a study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina for six months. It was in Argentina, that he first became interested in wine. While biking throughout the Mendoza region, he stopped at several wineries along the way – Trumbull became hooked on good Malbec wine. (Note: this area of Argentina is known for producing exceptional Malbecs). In 2008, he decided to pursue his passion for food, and attend The Culinary Institute of America. Trumbull just graduated and is looking forward to starting his professional career down South. In the future, Trumbull would like to be running his own successful restaurant or food business.

Café Bacchus is proud to be a part of Andrew Trumbull’s begining as we are sure that he has a bright future ahead of him. Chef Heath Finnell and Andrew Trumbull will be collaborating on a fabulous menu for the Guest Chef Dinner Event. (Stay tuned for details…)

Bacchus is taking dinner and a movie to a whole new level - enjoy the movie while tasting the delicious featured recipes. Café Bacchus will show the movie Dinner Rush. This movie has real life drama about a restaurateur who’s also an aging bookie. His down-to-earth, mom and pop Italian eatery has changed into a pretentious up-scale establishment because of his hot-shot chef son who wants to take over the business. The mob is also involved because of a troubled line cook and the numbers racket. The movie is rated R.

We will show the movie in our large upstairs dining area. Showtime will be 7 p.m.; however, the featured dinner is also available during our regular dinner hours downstairs and will be served in addition to the regular menu. The cost is $40 for the three-course dinner; individual courses are also available.

See you at the Show!
