BITCHIN’ KITCHENS (AND MORE CAKE!)
The Dish
As if anyone needed a reason to devour free Cathy’s Rum Cake last night, over 200 kitchen designers showed up at the SunWest Appliance Distributing showroom to vote on the hottest kitchen design that used SunWest appliances.
The winner was Lori Carroll & Associates, a boutique design firm in Tucson who outfitted a custom residence with a suite of Viking appliances from SunWest.
Guests noshed on spicy tuna and crab rolls from Kona Grill as well as chicken satay from the SunWest chefs while casting their ballots for the five finalists.
During the event, EaterAZ chatted with Jim McCabe, SunWest’s Director of Marketing and Sales, about the Viking show kitchen Jacques Pepin cooked on during the Eats3 culinary festival last fall. “We love these types of events because if someone shells out 85 bucks for a ticket, they’re probably a potential Viking customer,” he said. That Viking kitchen is also used during the Scottsdale Culinary Festival and Phoenix Cooks, but we hear another stop may be added to the rotation in 2010—the West of Western festival at the Phoenix Art Museum.
For the most part, you’ll also find Cathy Bua at these events, serving up her divine strawberry rum cakes … as if you needed another reason to check them out.
