Next Wednesday's dinner has a wonderful menu planned by 
Chef's Gerald Allen and Khoran Horn!


Eat Blvck is a culinary collective headed by Chefs Gerald Allen and Khoran Horn.  Former cohorts hailing from Johnson & Wales University, both have had acclaim in their culinary careers.  Chef Allen’s path through the kitchen has seen stints on both coasts.  Roles as Executive Chef and Food & Beverage Director have granted him the opportunity to further his knowledge in all things food in his current role as Culinary Educator.  Horn took a slightly different path, graduating with a culinary degree and also a business degree.  After school, Horn went into a front-of-the-house role and hung up the chef jacket.  He now is the Owner/Operator of Stripp’d in Old City Philadelphia and has been called back to his passion of crafting cuisine for all sorts of palates.

This is a benefit dinner for the Brandywine Conservancy.

About the Chef



It should have been obvious as a child that Dan Tagle would
eventually be a chef- he read cookbooks instead of school books. After high

school, Dan attended culinary school and fine-tuned his skills at a variety of

restaurants earning a reputation for creating mouth-watering dishes. While at Krazy Kats, he found a passion for French Cuisine, making it fun and playful.

Diners took notice. At 21, he was promoted to Sous Chef and shortly after he
found himself running his own kitchen at The Arsenal, Krazy Kats, and The
Gables. Dan shifted gears and ran Nordstrom Grill for seven years,
traveling the country as a trainer and food innovator. In 2016, Dan won the Delaware Burger Battle and came in 1st place at the Wilmington Flower Market Kids Cook-Off. These Days, you’ll find Dan teaching the next generation of cooks at Appoquinimink High School. He enjoys spending his free time cooking at home with fiancée, three daughters and two dogs.
