Chefs Nathan Coulon and Christopher Idso on San Diego Gourmet

Our wonderful guests this week on San Diego Gourmet were Nathan Coulon, executive chef of Quarter Kitchen, and Christopher Idso, executive chef at Pacifica Del Mar and the Chef's Chair for this year's Taste of the Nation San Diego event. We had a great conversation with both chefs, getting an in-depth look at their restaurants and their unique cooking styles. And, we talked about Taste of the Nation, which takes place this Sunday in Balboa Park from 3 to 6 p.m. More than 20 fabulous restaurants are participating in this annual event that raises money to end childhood hunger in America. The local charities that will benefit from this year's event include the San Diego Hunger Coalition, Los Ninos, California Association of Food Banks and California Food Policy Advocates.

Tickets for Taste of the Nation San Diego are $75 for general admission but you can get a discount by buying them online at tasteofthenation.org and using the code on the page.

In the meantime, enjoy the show!
