From the ranch to the table, there is both an art and a science to producing the highest quality steak. Join us for a memorable dinner celebrating the people and history behind El Gaucho and Certified Angus Beef’s partnership.
Over 25 years ago, El Gaucho founder Paul Mackay was determined to offer guests the highest quality beef and an exceptional eating experience. His search for quality led him to Certified Angus Beef ® steaks, and a long-standing partnership was born.
The 2023 Rancher Heritage Dinner Series is a celebration of the partnership, and the dedicated family farmers and ranchers who make the Certified Angus Beef ® steaks you love at El Gaucho possible.
The evening’s five-course menu was created by El Gaucho executive chef and general manager Kirin Chun and Chef Venoy Rogers of Certified Angus Beef. Each course will be paired with exceptional regional wines.
Special guests include Rob and Lori Thomas who will share their passion for raising Angus cattle, and Paul Mackay who will discuss the mouthwatering Certified Angus Beef ® steaks El Gaucho creates.
