John Shields to Appear at SOUPSTOCK

We are excited to announce that John Shields will be joining Henry Hong to talk about soup and serve as a soup competition judge at SOUPSTOCK.

Chef, author and television personality John Shields is the owner of the celebrated Gertrude's Restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

John is often called "The Culinary Ambassador of the Chesapeake Bay," and he has written three popular cookbooks on the cuisine of the region: The Chesapeake Bay Cookbook; The Chesapeake Bay Crab Cookbook; and Chesapeake Bay Cooking with John Shields. In 1998, public television stations across the country began airing John's series "Chesapeake Bay Cooking," based on the book of that title. For the series, John hit the road, interviewing folks around the Chesapeake region and showing how they prepared their favorite regional dishes.


His most recent book, Coastal Cooking with John Shields, highlights foods from America's coastal regions and introduces the people who grow, raise and cook them. The companion PBS television series, "Coastal Cooking with John Shields," currently airs nationwide. In "Coastal Cooking with John Shields" the cameras accompany John to locations across the continent, from Maine to New Orleans -from Charleston, South Carolina to the Pacific Northwest's Whidbey Island.
