Antsy Nancy attended The Food & Wine Classic – Aspen in June 2025. This culinary event has been a must-visit experience for four decades and consists of three incredible days of cooking demonstrations, wine & spirit tastings, and panel discussions led by world-class chefs and beverage experts. We are thrilled to present a cooking class lineup, inspired by the chefs and recipes introduced at Food & Wine Aspen 2025.
Twenty-eight-year Food Network veteran Tyler Florence has captivated millions of viewers on numerous hit shows, including Emmy nominated “Tyler’s Ultimate,” and “The Great Food Truck Race,” heading into its 18th season. His 17 cookbooks, American Grill (Abrams) was released in May 2024. A two- time James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef West Coast, Tyler launched his award-winning flagship restaurant, Wayfare Tavern, over a decade ago. Under his restaurant group, The Greater Organization, Tyler operates several other highly acclaimed spots. Miller & Lux, recently named Best Steakhouse, Bay Area by San Francisco Magazine, is located in the Chase Arena, home of the Golden State Warriors. In addition, Tyler Florence was also named “2024 San Francisco Chef Of The Year” by San Francisco Magazine. In December 2023 he opened the second outpost of Miller & Lux in Hawaii, at the Four Seasons Hualalai resort.
Our menu for this class come straight from Florence’s session at Food & Wine – Aspen and include his signature popovers from Wayfare Tavern.
