Vienna's Chef Bazin To Hold Gluten-Free Night

VIENNA, VA—Since Chef Patrick Bazin of Bazin's on Church learned he had Celiac disease in 2013, he's worked to develop gluten-free offerings that are just as tasty as other menu items. One of his latest efforts is the Pop-Up Gluten-Free Night he's hosting on Thursday, Nov. 8 beginning at 5 p.m.

Bazin’s on Church is hosting this event at the Bazin’s Next Door event space (111 Church St, Vienna VA 22180). The pop-up menu is 100 percent gluten free and will include items like zucchini wrapped chicken enchiladas, onion blanketed “Chatham Bay” cod and a dairy-free, sugar-free chocolate almond cake.

Bazin looks forward to sharing how versatile and tasty a gluten-free diet can be. "I have been working on gluten free recipes for years and I am really excited to share what I have learned with others suffering from Celiac or gluten intolerance,” he said.

Now with half of his menu Gluten Free, Chef Patrick has gained a gluten-free following, and is excited to host a night solely dedicated to gluten-free cuisine.

Around 3.1 million people in the U.S. are following a gluten-free diet, a number that has tripled in the last five years. Bazin has gained a following of patrons seeking gluten-free items due to his efforts in making half the menu gluten-free.

Bazin is a self-taught chef that has studied under Wolfgang Puck, Charlie Palmer, and Rocco DiSpirito and has worked at high-end restaurants in the Chicago and DC areas. He has cooked for Julia Child, numerous presidents and other famous figures over the last 12 years.

Reservations for the pop-up are recommended by calling 703-255-7212. For more information on Bazin’s on Church please visit www.bazinsonchurch.com.
