BAKERSFIELD, CA - As a continuation of grand opening celebrations for its new Bakersfield facility, Tasteful Selections hosted select food bloggers to get to know the Tasteful Selections’ family, tour the new facility, meet the inspirational 14-year-old Chef Jack Witherspoon, and cook alongside Michelin Star Chef Joey Elenterio.
After an action packed day of touring the new 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, the bloggers were able to attend a private cooking session with award-winning Chef Elenterio. The bloggers learned to create an Everything Tasteful Selections Potatoes and Lox while Chef Elenterio dished the details on latest cooking trends and secret potato cooking techniques. Chef Elenterio has been a proud supporter of Tasteful Selections since 2011.
