March 30, 2010 - PRLog -- NEW YORK – To celebrate an extraordinary convergence of two events – Vermilion Executive Chef Maneet Chauhan being named one of the Culinary Institute of America’s (CIA) “Best Chefs in the World” (the youngest and one of the few women graduates of that august institution to be so recognized) AND Chef Chauhan competing in the Iron Chef America kitchen, At Vermilion http://www.therestaurant.com will unveil the Secret Ingredient Dinner, a mysterious multi-dimensional event, on Thursday, April 8 at 7:00 pm at the midtown restaurant.
