Food for Foodies aboard Holland America Line

A real treat for foodies is coming up on Holland America Line. Randy Zweiban, executive chef and owner of Chicago’s acclaimed restaurant, Province, is scheduled to sail as part of the guest enrichment program on the July 12, 2010, Alaskan Adventurer Via Hubbard Glacier cruise aboard Holland America Line’s ms Amsterdam.

The 14-day cruise sails round-trip from Seattle and will call at Ketchikan, Skagway, Sitka, Anchorage, Homer and Juneau, Alaska, before visiting Victoria, British Columbia.

Zweiban, who will be on board from July 12 – 19, will share his expertise on Nuevo Latino cuisine and conduct cooking demonstrations for guests in the ship's state-of-the-art show kitchen.

From the moment Zweiban opened Province in Chicago’s trendy West Loop neighborhood in 2008, the Nuevo Latino concept captured the hearts and tastes of the Windy City’s food critics and foodies alike. Featuring cuisine inspired by Central and South America and Spain, Province was given a three-out-of-four-star review by the Chicago Tribune. Additionally, Zweiban’s work has been featured in several national publications including USA Today, Bon Appétit, Gourmet, Newsweek, Food Arts, Metropolitan Home and Esquire magazine.
