They are: Michael Chiarello, who hosts "Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello" on the nationally syndicated Food Network. • Lee Hefter, executive chef at Spago Beverly Hills, in Beverly Hills, Calif. • Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson, executive chef at Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colo. Celebrating the Vail Valley's rich lifestyle, the fine dining, prestigious art galleries, fashionable shops and phenomenal skiing that have made Vail a world-class, year-round resort, Taste of Vail was created in 1990 by a group of local restaurateurs as a marketing event to showcase the resort's world-class restaurants. Now the internationally famous destination boasts more than 21 Wine Spectator award-winning restaurants, the most of any resort community in the United States. Many of them are among the nearly three dozen Vail Valley restaurants that participate in Taste of Vail every year. Taste of Vail prides itself in being perhaps the only event of its kind in which the chefs, winemakers and winery owners -- and not their marketers, salespeople or assistants -- do the cooking and pouring themselves. Such high standards over the years have led to the festival's being ranked as one of the top three arts-and-entertainment events in the United States, in terms of quality, by the 2006 Luxury Brand Status Index events, conducted by the New York-based Luxury Institute. Chiarello, named Chef of the Year by the Culinary Institute of America in 1995 and by Food & Wine magazine in 1985, is a true Napa Valley icon. He currently hosts "Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello" on the nationally syndicated Food Network and "NapaStyle" on sister-channel Fine Living Network. A California native with roots in southern Italy, Chiarello is creator of NapaStyle specialty foods and handcrafted products for kitchen, home and garden, as well as author of five cookbooks. His career includes stints as executive chef in numerous American restaurants, including Tra Vigne Restaurant in St. Helena, Calif., Caffe Museo in San Francisco, Ajax Tavern and Bump's in Aspen, Colo., and Bistecca in Scottsdale, Ariz. Hefter has been named by Restaurant & Institutions as one of the "best young chefs in America," Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine and Best Chef: California by the James Beard Foundation. In addition to his role at Spago Beverly Hills, Hefter oversees the menus for all of the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group's restaurants, as well as Wolfgang Puck Catering and Events. Outside of the Puck empire, Hefter's path to celebrity includes some of world's finest kitchens, such as Oustaù de Baumanière and Maison Troisgros in France and San Francisco's China Moon Café.
