AZUR Guest Celebrity Chef Series

The AZUR Guest Celebrity Chef Series dinners will feature chefs, many of whom are known regionally or nationally, preparing a multi-coursed dinner with the AZUR chefs - Executive Chef Jeremy Ashby and Chef Miguel Rivas at AZUR restaurant & patio. The inaugural dinner will be Wednesday, November 24 and will feature Chef Aaron Hopper. Chef Hopper was one of AZUR's original chef/owners and was instrumental in the kitchen and menu design which has become the trademark of AZUR. We are pleased to feature Chef Aaron Hopper as our first celebrity guest chef. More guest chefs and dates will be announced in the coming weeks. Our goal is to keep the passion and spirit of the culinary arts alive in Lexington, Kentucky.
