Chuck and Scott Represent Montana in Washington DC

Chef/owner Chuck Schommer and Executive Chef Scott Mechura of Bucks T-4 Lodge in Big Sky recently returned from the Taste of the Nation event at the Democratic Governors Association event in Washington DC.  Chef Schommer was one of 10 chefs selected from around the country to present a dish and to represent Montana.  The dish of choice was a Duck Bacon BLT appetizer.  We called it a Montana BLT, duck fat fried Wheat Montana crouton, house cured duck bacon, spiced roasted tomato honey jam, petite greens.

No Kid Hungry chef champions from around the country participated in the Democratic Governor's Association Taste of America Gala, preparing gourmet culinary creations while helping to raise awareness about the No Kid Hungry campaign.  The tasting-style event will provide Share Our Strength an opportunity to highlight our national No Kid Hungry campaign and dedicated community of No Kid Hungry chefs before the nation’s Democratic Governors and 700 top business leaders from across the country. Along-side the chefs are outstanding No Kid Hungry mixologists presenting signature cocktails.

When speaking about the event Chuck said,

"Share Our Strength and The No Kid Hungry campaign is a great cause and something I am passionate about.   To be selected to work side by side with leading chefs and mixologists from around the country was truly an honor."
