    Enjoy a luxury dinner in your home, prepared by Dave Martin, a Top Chef and Food Network star!

More recently, Dave made his way back to the small screen, appearing on Food Network’s Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen, winning both shows.

    The package includes:

    • Dinner for 10 guests in your home, prepared by Chef Dave Martin
    • Two bottles of white wine and two bottles of red wine paired with your dinner
    • Customized menu to be hand-picked by winning bidder, which can include favorites from Chef Martin's television runs
