Toasting A Winner

Jim Butler’s Viking Culinary Center

If there is such a thing as foodie heaven, then Jim Butler has brought it right down to Earth on Lakewood Ranch’s Main Street. The country’s newest Viking© Culinary Center, opened by Butler in September, has become something of a culinary playground for those of all ages.

The Center houses a 35-seat amphitheater studded with cameras and video screens for close-up viewing of cooking demonstrations, a wine bar for cozy, evenings socializing over favorite vintages, a large, private space for hands-on cooking classes with top notch chefs, and a retail area filled with must-haves for the well-appointed kitchen.
