The Washington County Tourism Promotion Agency cooked up a first-ever event featuring many of the county’s restaurants, as well as a celebrity chef to kick off the weeklong celebration.

WCTPA announced Friday the inaugural Washington County Restaurant Week 2015, which will be held March 9 to March 15.

According to a news release, the event was created to highlight Washington County as a premier dining destination as well as showcase the county’s food, restaurants and chefs that make Washington County one of the best places to live in the nation.

Washington County Restaurant Week will begin with a kick-off event March 3, at The Meadows Casino. The event will feature a “Best of Chef” competition as well as an appearance by Walter Scheib, who was White House executive chef for 11 years during the Clinton and Bush administrations.

Scheib is also the author of “White House Chef: Eleven Years, Two Presidents, One Kitchen.”

Following Scheib’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to sample food prepared by the county’s best chefs, and at the conclusion of the evening, everyone will vote on Washington County’s “Best Chef.”

“The response to the inaugural Washington County Restaurant Week has been excellent,” said WCTPA President Jeff Kotula, who said there are more than 15 restaurants signed up to participate in restaurant week and the kick-off event.

WCTPA alsoy launched the website www.WashingtonCountyRestaurantWeek.com, which provides additional information about the event and the participating restaurants.
