Chef Hosting Cooking Demo at Arboretum

Fans of Pasadena classic Haven Gastropub, rejoice!

Chef Marc Johnson will host a cooking demonstration at the Los Angeles County Arboretum on Oct. 10. The demonstration is part of a regular cooking series the Arboretum started way back in 2002.

Arboretum spokesperson Jill Berry called Johnson "fabulous" and says "he's sure to do a great job."

So why not come see for yourself? What's on the menu, you say?

Oh, just Arugula Salad, Butternut Squash Soup, Cola Braised Pork, Smoked Creamed Corn and Garrotxa Cheese topped with thyme. Simple stuff, really.

And Pastry Chef Santanna Salas will make madeleines for dessert.

What could be better than a 5-Star food in a gorgeous setting?
