During three nights of the Orange County Fair, Heritage Stage will be cooking when well-known chefs from television and radio tempt the crowd with food, fun and tantalizing recipes. This year's series features return appearances by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger (formerly known as the Two Hot Tamales) and Alton Brown from “Good Eats” on The Food Network. Making his Fair time debut is James Botsacos, who many have seen cook with Katie and Matt on the “Today Show.”

The first chefs to hit the stage are Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger (The Border Girls) from the popular Border Grill restaurants in Santa Monica and Las Vegas as well as Ciudad in downtown Los Angeles. Inspired by a love for bold flavors and strong statements, Milliken and Feniger have made their mark with home cooking from all over the world. Don’t miss them on Heritage Stage on Thursday, July 15 at 5:30 p.m. for an hour of Latin cooking.

Joining the Chef Series on Thursday, July 22 is James Botsacos, executive chef at Molyvos Greek restaurant in New York City. Through his own talent, skill and vision, Botsacos elevates traditional Greek recipes to the highest levels of taste and sophistication. He currently is the host of ESPN’s “Cold Pizza” and is a regular contributor to NBC’s “Today Show.”

And finally, back by popular demand, is Alton Brown, writer, director and host of “Good Eats,” one of the top-rated shows on The Food Network. For over five years, Brown has amused and informed on his weekly cooking show, which combines his passion for food and pop culture while entertaining his audience with wit and humor. On each episode of “Good Eats,” he explores the origins of ingredients, decodes culinary customs, and presents food and equipment trends. You can see Alton on Thursday, July 29 at 5:30 p.m. on Heritage Stage.

Each chef will be available following their shows to sign autographs and answer questions. The Chef Series is co-sponsored by KOST 103.5 FM and Dinner at Eight Productions.
