TRUCKEE — Dragonfly will host Ted Owens and his right-winged man Matt Wellise for a Guest Chef evening Friday, Nov. 20 beginning at 5:30 p.m. Owens will set to work in the Dragonfly kitchen serving up his dishes fair and balanced, while Wellise will delight diners by dragging out his fresh road kill.
