SOURCE FOUR CHOCOLATE TASTING CELEBRATION A DELICIOUS SUCCESS
Food Network's Keegan Gerhard Delights Guests
DENVER, Colo.—Source Four Inc., a regional provider of distinctive commercial furnishings, celebrated its 25th anniversary with a chocolate tasting hosted by chef Keegan Gerhard, owner of Denver's newest dessert bar, D Bar, and host of the weekly TV show Food Network Challenge.
The tasting featured an assortment of gourmet chocolates in a variety of applications—including bon bons, dips, spherified chocolate liqueur and more. The event, which took place this month at the Source Four showroom on Kalamath Street in Denver, also included live music and appetizers.
In addition to providing the savory nibbles and the chocolate, chef Keegan Gerhard was on hand throughout the tasting to share his expertise with guests. He created a solid chocolate sculpture to capture the cultural essence of Source Four. Gerhard also delighted guests with custom chocolates in the shapes of the four icons that comprise Source Four's logo.
The event was attended by some 275 guests, including members of the local architectural and design community, as well as with executives from Source Four's suppliers from Norway, Germany, Italy, China and the U.S.
Gerhard was named one of the nation's top 10 pastry chefs of 2002 and 2004 by both Chocolatier and Pastry Art & Design magazines. He has been featured numerous times on the Discovery Channel's Great Chefs of America, as well as the Food Network and CNN. He organizes and serves as M.C. for the "The National Pastry Team Championships" and "The World Pastry Team Championships" in Las Vegas, which is televised on the Food Network.
D Bar, which Gerhard opened this spring with his wife, pastry chef Lisa Bailey, has received enthusiastic critical and fan reviews.
"What sweeter way to celebrate Source Four's 25th anniversary than with a chocolate tasting," said Jeff Riley, Source Four founder and president. "Chef Gerhard delivered an evening of unique gourmet delights—perfect for celebrating our 25 years of dedication to providing unique commercial furnishing solutions for designers, dealers and their clients."
