If you’re a fan of TV cooking shows, chef Geoffrey Zakarian is probably a household name. Outside of his kitchen and restaurants, he’s either a co-host, judge or competitor on top cooking shows including The Kitchen, Chopped and Iron Chef America. He’s also on the QVC channel with his Pro for Home, a line of more than 120 gourmet foods and culinary tools for home cooks.
But this week in Tallahassee, Zakarian was the headliner for a different production Cleaver and Cork 2021, the premier culinary fundraiser held annually by the Tallahassee Community College Foundation. Proceeds from the event will go to TCC’s athletics department and help elevate educational opportunities, scholarships and learning facilities at the college.
