Michaud, who won "Best Mid-Atlantic Chef" in 2010, will be demonstrating easy grilling techniques and sharing recipes for marinades in Osteria's outdoor space. The barbecue session will have an Italian-flare, since Michaud has a passion for Italian cuisine.

Tickets for the event are $65 per person. The cost includes lunch on the patio, refreshments and instruction. An optional beverage pairing will be available at the event for $15, too.
