Featuring Chef James London of the 2026 James Beard Award Semifinalist® for Outstanding Restaurant
Getting a table at Charleston’s Chubby Fish—a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist® for Outstanding Restaurant—requires strategy and patience to navigate the daily lines for a shot at one of just 40 seats. Don’t miss this rare chance to reserve your place at this nationally acclaimed restaurant as James Beard Award nominee® chef James London brings a taste of the Lowcountry to New York City.
A Charleston native, London began cooking at age 14 and went on to train in New York before leading kitchens across the country and returning to his hometown. For this sensational seafood dinner, the menu will showcase London’s inventive approach to seafood, including a vibrant raw bar, oysters, whole fish preparations, and composed dishes.
Beyond its James Beard Award recognition, Chubby Fish has earned widespread national attention, including a spot on The New York Times’ “50 Best Restaurants in America” list in 2025 and landing at number 19 on the “North America’s 50 Best Restaurants” 2025 list.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
