The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Main Line Committee announces that its Notable Kitchen Tour and Chefs’ Tastings will take place on Thursday, November 8, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  This popular self-guided tour of the Main Line’s most unique kitchens is presented for the ninth time since 2009 for the benefit of The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Each of the impressive kitchens in six private homes in the western suburbs will showcase a “notable” local chef offering a variety of samples of their cuisine for tasting by tour attendees.  They include A la Maison, Cornerstone Bistro & Artisanal Market, Founding Farmers, Margaret Kuo’s, Pour Richard’s Coffee Co., The Ultimate Bake Shoppe of Wayne, and Wild Blue Creative Catering.  Multiple florists will provide beautiful flower arrangements to accentuate each home’s decor.  They are Bloom, Chrissy Piombino Bennett Custom Floral Design, Cottage Flowers Design, Event Florals by Christine at Market Fresh Flowers, Robertson\’s Flowers and Events, and Valley Forge Flowers.  In addition, attendees will be inspired by viewing unique table settings from Via Bellissima, who has supported the tour each year, Kese Interiors, Li Halpern Events, Living Well with Pat Nogar, Maggie Hagstrom, and The Perfect Setting.

Lenox has once again donated eight place settings of china, stemware and flatware that will be displayed in one of the homes and will be a \”Special Raffle” item.  Valuable raffle baskets displayed in the homes will contain gift certificates and interesting items for the home.

Proceeds from the tour will support various development and educational programs of The Philadelphia Orchestra.  Tickets may be purchased beginning October 1 at The Little House Shop in Wayne, Kitchen Kapers in Ardmore and Paoli, and Via Bellissima in Bryn Mawr or online now at www.notablekitchens.com.  On the morning of the tour, attendees receive a program book that includes a map showing where the homes are located as well as historical information about them.
