UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Fans of the popular PBS show “Downton Abbey” will transport themselves back to 1920s England during the 23rd annual WPSU-TV Connoisseur’s Dinner and Auction at the Nittany Lion Inn on Saturday, Feb. 7.
Paul Brooke-Taylor, executive chef at Highclere Castle where “Downton Abbey” is filmed, and Lisa Heathcote, the show’s food stylist, will share the time period’s distinctive cuisine with the State College community.
“The dinner is a unique way for the guests to be part of the castle experience,” said Brooke-Taylor. “I hope some of the combinations are unique to them, while also sharing a glimpse of history, and they leave feeling a little surprised in a good way.”
