On Sunday August 3 at 1pm, Chef Amar Santana of Broadway in Laguna Beach will be the featured chef at the Festival of Arts Art of Cooking series. Festival visitors become culinary students for one hour as chefs share tips, tricks and tools for making amazing dishes, live and in-person.
Chef Amar Santana is one of Orange County’s hottest rising stars after opening his widely successful flagship restaurant, Broadway By Amar Santana in Laguna Beach. His globally influenced menu includes unexpected flavor profiles and artful presentations, reflecting his zeal for food and for life. Santana attributes his success as a direct result of ambition, drive, passion, and modestly, extraordinary talent. Prior to opening his first restaurant, he served as Sous Chef at Aureole in New York and Executive Chef for Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale’s South Coast Plaza.
The menu at Broadway by Amar Santana is inspired by the creativity of Santana and his version of Modern Cuisine of The Americas. It features top quality ingredients, with a focus on local farms who can provide the menu’s seasonal requirements. Santana will personally create and prepare a multiple course menu, to those guests that chose to be adventurous with their cuisine.
“Chef Amar was a hit at last year’s Art of Cooking series,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “We are very excited to have him return this summer and share another round of delicious recipes!”
Foodies rejoice every Sunday from 1-2pm at the Festival of Arts’ “Art of Cooking” series. Every Sunday through August 24, this special event series takes place in the Festival Art Center and is free with Festival admission.
