Meeting Speaker Feb. 14, 2011

Food and romance go together, so to celebrate Valentine's Day. Our special guest is Patrick Mulvaney, one of Sacramento's top chefs.  He is the chef owner of Mulvaney's Building & Loan Restaurant.  Also he just opened the Cafe at the new Crocker Museum, which has received excellent reviews. 

Patrick is a native New Yorker and began his culinary career in 1985 as an apprentice in Europe, cooking under some of Europe's most renowned chefs.  In 1988 he moved to Roxsand Restaurant in Phoenix where he was named "the rising star of the southwest" by the American Institute of Wine & Food.  He decided to make Sacramento his home and worked at Paragary's and  The Kitchen.  In 2005 he opened Mulvaney's Building & Loan.  He is known for using local, fresh & organic ingredients.  This May he will add another feather to his cap by preparing the food for our own Bids for Kids.
