If you are a fan of the Food Network show Chopped and Chef James Briscione then you won’t want to miss this. Chef Briscione, Food Network star and winner of the show Chopped, has teamed up with the city of Dalton to host 2 cooking classes; the first was in October and was a huge hit! The second in November. Although this is a cooking class, Dalton has made a culinary event out of it and it will be offered as a weekend package for guests. See highlights below. For a detailed itinerary, click here.

· Wild Game Dinner and cooking classes

· A four-course dinner at Planet of the Grapes, Dalton’s local gourmet restaurant and wine bar

· Visit the newly restored Historic Freight Depot for a catered lunch by Oakwood Cafe

· Wine tasting at Dalton’s Downtown Wine Festival

Class size is limited to 20 couples and the first will be held the weekend of November 6-7.
