CHEF CHAD HYATT’S CULINARY DEMO – NEW VENUE
COMC will host Chef Chad Hyatt for our last meeting of 2025 on November 20 at the Hollinshead Barn, 1235 NE Jones, in Bend at 6:30 PM. This is a temporary change just for this meeting.
Join chef and mushroom enthusiast Chad Hyatt as he explores the often-overlooked nuances behind mushroom edibility and culinary use. From challenging conventional wisdom to rethinking flavor pairings, Chad will share insights into the art of cooking with mushrooms. Expect a fresh take on how we judge, prepare, and celebrate mushrooms in the kitchen.
Chad Hyatt is an expert forager and classically trained chef who has made a name for himself in northern California and beyond, sharing his delicious spin on wild mushroom cookery. He has cooked in a variety of restaurants and private clubs around the San Francisco Bay area. Chad can often be found foraging for mushrooms, putting on wild mushroom-themed dinners, teaching mushroom-related classes, and attending mushroom festivals around the United States. He is passionate about cooking approachable comfort food based on local, seasonal ingredients, and, of course, wild mushrooms.
Important! Chad will have his latest book “The Mushroom Hunter’s Kitchen: A Culinary Homage to Wild and Cultivated Mushrooms” available for sale and signing. If you would like to purchase: $30 cash/Venmo, and $32 credit card.
Happy Holidays to all our fungi friends!
