I received an email from Gordon today and A Private Affair has been discontinued at the resort. His responsibilities at HH have been expanded and he no longer has as much time to devote to the program. He said that his other duties at the resort made scheduling APA too difficult. In addition he has some other resonsibilities in the evening and also has some responsibilities away from the resort.
He will still be hosting other cooking programs, like "A Taste of Wine" and "Creative Beginnings" on a seasonal basis.
While he did not mention it, since the resort has no other qualified "chef" (no restaurant/no chef), IMO, it's not likely that a replacement chef for APA will be sought- especially for a program that serves so few people and is offered on such a limited basis. It was an elegant program (especially when it was offered in the GV, but also at the Beach House) and was a great evening and we will miss it.
As mentioned in the other APA thread, Gordon was very generous with his recipes. We have recipes for most of his offerings over the years and will try to dig some out and post them here.
Be sure to seek out Gordon and say "Hi" when at the resort. He is a great resource for both the resort and Hilton Head itself.
