The “Chef Wanted” episode filmed at Tavern 1757 on Route 34 in Seymour has a broadcast date, a spokesperson for the Food Network said Tuesday.
The episode, titled “A Countryside Tavern,” will air Thursday, Aug. 22 at 10 p.m.
“Chef Wanted” is a reality show hosted by chef Anne Burrell. In it, four chefs compete for a top job at a restaurant, in this case, Tavern 1757, owned by Tony and Tonino Mavuli.
Food Network’s description of the episode follows:
“A Countryside Tavern”
Italian restaurateur Tony and his son Tonino seek a new Executive Chef to transform their Connecticut restaurant, Tavern 1757, into a rustic Italian hotspot.
Anne Burrell tests four chefs on their ability to create Sardinian-inspired dishes as well as incorporate rustic meats such as rabbit and wild boar.
During dinner service, one chef struggles to keep their timidity from sabotaging their chances at this dream opportunity, while the other struggles to maintain quality control of the food going out to the customers.
It’s a big job for a big restaurant, and only one walks away with the title of Executive Chef.
Competing Chefs: Brian Reilly; Thomas Valdes; Ryan Escude; Kelli Daniels
The show was filmed at Tavern 1757 in June. Local dignitaries who may be on TV include Derby Mayor Anthony Staffieri and Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller.
