Food enthusiasts will have a chance to enjoy a four-course meal from an Iron Chef when celebrity TV star Alex Guarnaschelli takes over Chop House inside Choctaw Casino & Resort – Grant in January!

Guarnaschelli is a staple of Food Network, where she hosts three shows including Ciao House, Supermarket Stakeout and Alex vs. America. She is also a recurring judge on Chopped. Her prowess in the kitchen, honed by years of working in France and opening her own restaurant, Butter, in New York City, earned her the title of Iron Chef and made her a household name.

Guarnaschelli is bringing her talents to Choctaw Casino & Resort – Grant in the style of a restaurant takeover, setting up shop in Chop House and working alongside its chefs to offer two nights of her signature Italian comfort cuisine.

The restaurant takeover will be on Friday, Jan. 23 at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 24, with two seatings at 6 and 8:30 p.m.  As a special gift, every guest will receive an autographed copy of her newest cookbook, “Italian American Forever.” Tickets are $125 per person and can be purchased here.

Guarnaschelli will make appearances in the dining room throughout the evening, while also working with Choctaw’s chefs to prepare her signature dishes. The first course will consist of a trio of salads with garlic knots, marinated olives and roasted grapes, followed by a farfalle pasta. The third course features steak Florentine and shrimp scampi with fingerling potatoes and rice pilaf, followed by a black forest cake. Following dinner, there will be a meet and greet with Guarnaschelli.
