The Costa Sporting Chef Cafe ... A Fred Hall Show Fixture

For over 10 years, the Fred Hall Show attendee has been treated to Scott Leysath, the Sporting Chef, and his unique blend of cooking and humor. Scott cooks fish and game at the Fred Hall Shows ... The Ultimate Outdoor Experience, in a theater style setting. A camera and big screen TV are focused on the pan which allows those patrons sitting in the theater to follow everything Scott does.

Scott's recipes for cooking fish and game are delicious and easy to understand and reproduce. As the cooking star of the TV shows, Hunt, Fish, Cook and Dead Meat, Scott travels all over the world to cook various kinds of fish and game. His stories are fascinating and his delivery worthy of his own comedy show.

When Scott finishes cooking a recipe, he shares it with the audience. Not only is the Sporting Chef Cafe informative and entertaining, it's also full of good food samples. Scott is joined in the Costa Sporting Chef Cafe by songwriter/musician/singer Gary Shiebler. Gary will sing his nationally famous fishing songs and Scott and Gary employ a running, and very funny, repartee during each segment.

Occasionally joining Scott and Gary at the Costa cafe will be Tommy Gomes, manager of Catalina Seafood Products. CSP can ship extremely fresh seafood right to your door. Tommy is also the inventor of the extremely popular and effective fishing bait, Uni Goop. Tommy will show you how to fillet your fish to get the most meat with the least amount of waste. At press time Tommy was trying to procure some Giant Squid. He wanted to show everyone the best way to get the most usable meat from one of these unusual sea creatures. We have them here nearly every year and they are hard to deal with in the kitchen. Tommy will, hopefully, show you how.

So, while visiting the Fred Hall Shows ... The Ultimate Outdoor Experience stop by the Costa Sporting Chef Cafe in both Long Beach, March 6-10, and in Del Mar, March 21-24. You won't be disappointed.
