Bûcheron—the 2025 James Beard Award winner® for Best New Restaurant and one of The New York Times’ “50 Best Restaurants in America” in 2025—has become both a beloved Minneapolis neighborhood restaurant and a national dining destination, where warmth, care, and deeply satisfying food bring people together night after night.

Named for the French word for lumberjack, the restaurant draws inspiration from Minnesota’s North Woods and the generations of lumberjacks who shaped the region. Co-owners Adam Ritter and Jeanie Janas Ritter channel that spirit into a French-American bistro rooted in the Upper Midwest, where chef Ritter’s culinary creations nod to Scandinavian-American home cookery and the region’s seasonal pantry. For this special dinner, the Ritters will present a menu inspired by the cooking that has made Bûcheron such a cherished destination with soulful dishes that bring the flavors of the North Woods to New York.

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.
