The Paul Abowd Tribute Dinner is a culinary love note to a man who has owned myriad Northern Nevada restaurants since the 1950s and is still manning Reno’s Stone House Café kitchen.

At this gastronomic Super Bowl, Abowd and fellow diners will be feted by chefs like Gregg Carano of the Eldorado, Jorge Flores, the Stone House Café; David Silverman, Silver Peak Brewery; Craig Rodrigue, Truckee Meadows culinary arts program; Troy Cannan, from Lulou’s and the Eldorado, and of course the ringleader Charlie Abowd. Each chef will have a chance to speak about their thumbprint on the menu and their relationship with Paul Abowd.

Adding to the feel-good vibe of the event is its non-profit beneficiary, The Greenhouse Project. Its mission is to establish and operate a community-based greenhouse using renewable energy sources and ecologically sustainable growing methods. With a focus on environmental stewardship, it will provide educational and vocational opportunities for students, youth groups and special needs individuals. It will also provide year-round organic produce to agencies serving low-income Carson City residents. For more information, go to carsoncitygreenhouse.org.
