Live Auction Preview Four by Brother Luck Private Dinner Estimated value: $3,600

Take a seat at the chef’s table with nine friends and enjoy a seven-course tasting by Chef Brother Luck at either the main kitchen at Four by Brother Luck or in your own home. If you choose to dine at the restaurant, you will also enjoy complimentary wine pairings. If you choose this experience at your home, wine will be donated by El Corazon Winery, Walla Walla.

Brother Luck has worked in fine dining kitchens all over the world, including Japan, Hong Kong, Chicago, New York City and now, Colorado Springs. Since his global travels, he was the winner of Food Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay” and was a finalist on Food Network’s “Chopped.”

Chef Brother Luck brings uniquely crafted flavors and techniques to Colorado Springs, where he opened his signature southwestern concept restaurant, Four by Brother Luck, in March 2017. The restaurant’s name is a nod to the seasons and the four Native American approaches to food production and procurement: hunting, gathering, fishing, and farming.

“Great ingredients with great techniques equal great memories.”

– Chef Brother Luck
