Branson Ballroom at McCamly Plaza Hotel

Move over, Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse! Over thirty of the finest male chefs in the Battle Creek/Marshall area will prepare five-course gourmet feasts at the third annual  Men Who Cook  benefit for the Music Center on Saturday evening, January 28.

The social event of the season, the fourth annual Men Who Cook benefit will be held at the beautiful Branson Ballroom at McCamly Plaza Hotel.

Event co-founder Steve Johnkoski noted that the event has grown every year. “It’s an elegant evening and an opportunity to sample cuisine that’s not readily available elsewhere. The chefs take great pride in the quality and authenticity of the food. There is a lot of fun and camaraderie in the kitchen.” In their day jobs, chefs are teachers, musicians, IT professionals, and dentists, to name a few of the professions represented. Johnkoski continued, “We started this event not only to benefit the Music Center, but also to introduce people to its great programs like the Symphony, music schools and choruses.”

Call (269) 565-2199 to reserve your place and choose your preferred chefs. $80 per person ($55 of which is a tax-deductible contribution to the Music Center).

  Mythbusters

Myth #1. Symphony Concerts are not affordable. In fact, you can get tickets for as low as $7 per ticket!

Myth #2. Symphony Concerts are boring. Symphony music is some of the most exciting and dramatic music ever written. That's why so many movie scores are inspired by symphonic classics.

Myth #3. Concerts are stuffy and long. Our typical concerts are less than two hours and have an upbeat, multi-media approach.

Myth #4. You have to wear a suit and a tie to go to a concert. Come as you like. Some folks like to dress up, others prefer a more casual look. Myth #5. You can only applaud at certain times. We love your applause!
