Hold onto your Lucchese boots, The Mansion on Turtle Creek is throwing an uptown barbecue bash with plenty of down-home spirit benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.  Chef Fearing & Friends Annual Summer Barbecue Bash welcomes NBC’s Al Roker as Master of Ceremonies, Rodney Crowell (“The Houston Kid”), Richie Furay and Mickey Raphael to a jam session with Chef Fearing’s band of famous Texas chefs, “The Barbwires,” Saturday, July 12, 2003, 7-10 PM, in the circle drive of The Mansion on Turtle Creek grounds.

“Come hungry and ready to party!” says a grinning Chef Dean Fearing of The Mansion on Turtle Creek. “Good food, good friends, good music—all ingredients for a great Texas barbecue benefiting a great cause.   I’m thrilled and very grateful to my friends Al Roker, Rodney Crowell, Richie Furay and all the guest chefs for lending their talents to help Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children; it’s going to be a fun evening we won’t soon forget.”

Chef Fearing’s musically talented band of chefs, “The Barbwires,” will take the stage again this year in the annual celebration.  Dean (guitar and lead vocals) is joined by Robert Del Grande of Café Annie and Café Express (guitar and vocals), Tim Keating of the Four Seasons in Houston (vocals), and Greg Fearing (Dean’s brother) of Winston’s Restaurant in Louisville (electric guitar).

“The Dean & Friends Annual Summer Barbecue Bash has grown immensely in just two years.” says Richard Baker, Managing Director, The Mansion on Turtle Creek.  “The Barbecue Bash’s popularity stems from the community’s commitment to helping the young people served by Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children— that and an innate passion for outstanding barbecue and seeing some renowned chefs perform behind the grill and on stage.”                     

All participating chefs will create their own barbecue specialties for feasting guests.  In addition to The Barbwires, confirmed culinary stars Norman Van Aken, of Miami’s Norman’s, Bruce Auden of San Antonio’s Biga on the Banks; Nat Comisar, Maisonette in Cincinatti; Dotty Griffith, dining editor of The Dallas Morning News and author of her new cookbook Celebrating Barbecue and Susan Spicer of Bayona in New Orleans;
