'For the Love of the Game' -- Chef's Collaboration Dinner
Event Information
About this Event
Join us for our fourth Chef Collaboration dinner. Executive Chef Janelle Reynolds (Rosedale Kitchen and Bar) will be joined by Andrew Wiseheart (Executive Chef and Co-Owner of Contigo) and Senior Sous Chef Kevin Donovan (Second Bar + Kitchen ) to create a truly special ‘For the Love of the Game’ dinner menu. The 4-course menu is a nod to the chef’s combined passions for wild ‘game’ dishes and local produce and of course, it’s the end of football ‘game’ season so it seems only natural to be ‘For the Love of the Game.’ Cocktail expert, Aaron Hernandez (Rosedale Kitchen and Bar), will provide special craft cocktail pairings, with even more local ingredients, including Still Austin Whiskey to go with the amazing dishes.
Seating will be limited to our spacious patio and socially-distanced indoor dining room with live acoustic music.
A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit Good Work Austin. GWA creates a supportive environment for employers who want to do the right thing for their workers, the economy, and the environment.

Chef Kevin Donovan hails from Massachusetts, where he first cut his culinary teeth in old-school diners during his high school years. Cooking has always been a passion, and his expertise was honed at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School and also throughout college at the Culinary Institute of America. After years spent moving up and down the East Coast—from New York to North Carolina—and a few places in between, Chef Donovan settled in Austin, Texas. He has been steadily improving his craft under the tutelage of Chef David Bull, starting at Congress and now at Second Bar + Kitchen, where he is Senior Sous Chef at the Domain Northside location and dazzles guests with his homemade pasta and his burger of the month creations.
