Cooking Class at The Box in Traverse City: Chef Dave Denison

Cooking with Chef Dave Denison: Amical Favorites.

"Bleak" is the unavoidable word when describing the restaurant scene in downtown Traverse City before Chef Denison opened Amical in the mid 1990s. Fresh from California, Denison is fiercely committed to local ingredients prepared with Mediterranean-inspired freshness.

The Box: Exposed timber ceilings, rugged hardwood factory floors, 140 square feet of granite and marble counter space, contemporary stainless appliances, and custom elm and angle iron cabinetry all come artfully together in The Box's modern industrial interpretation of cooking space.

As an attendee, you'll sit on a bar stool just across a granite island fixed with a unique strip of individual gas cooktops.

$100 per attendee. Tickets available at MyNorthTickets.com.
