Our friend, Chef O, is going to be bringing free samples of his cooking into our school on October 10th during the 5, 6, and 8 PM classes.  The goal is to get people familiar with his execellent cooking and extremely reasonable prices.  dinners are custom made for Friday evenings and he also makes local deliveries for the food he prepares.

Chef O is a personal chef that has just immigrated into the Fox Valley from St. Louis MO.  His specialty is Barbeque Rib Tips, Barbeque Chicken and Salmon.  Every meal includes two sides dishes, bread, and a cookie as well.  All of this for teh very low price of $7 per plate.

Don’t miss out on this free sample night.  Grandmaster Moore routinely uses Chef O’s customized dinners for his own families Friday night dinners!

This event is for members of our school and parents only.
