The event will include a meet and greet at the Viking Culinary Center on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch on Friday along with a demo, luncheon and champagne brunch at Polo Grill and Bar on Saturday and Sunday, also in Lakewood Ranch.
As of Tuesday afternoon, only four tickets remained. The cost of tickets are $99 and only 25 tickets were made available.
Nolan graduated from of The Institute of Culinary Education in New York City and has cooked in restaurant kitchens in both New York and Philadelphia. She also hosted the Food Network’s Chic & Easy series.
“We feel honored they chose us,” said Hilary Butler, event coordinator for Viking Culinary Center.
The center, a 4,500-square-foot cooking demonstration area, opened on Main Street in September of 2011. Butler said the center has hosted notable chefs in the past, including television’s Hell’s Kitchen season four winner Christine Machamer.
“When other chefs come here, they are so surprised with our facility,” Butler said. “We hope she has the same reaction.”
