Featuring this Saturday at 9am we have a cooking demo with Chef Matthew Guy Lagace.
Legace, whose dad is former Birmingham Bulls hockey player Jean-Guy Lagace, was born in Kansas City, Mo., but moved to Birmingham as a kid. He learned to cook from his mom, Pat, who enrolled him in special studies cooking classes at UAB as a little boy.
After graduating from Culinard in 2001, Lagace worked his way up to sous chef at the Nonna Rose and executive chef at Prairie Fire Grille, both of which have since closed. Lagace also was executive chef at Michael's Steaks and Seafoodin Hoover.
And now he's back at Bellini's.
