<h4>Featuring Celebrated Chef Armond Joseph of Léon 1909</h4>
Accessible only by boat and anchored between Long Island’s North and South Forks, Shelter Island is the ultimate summer escape. For one night only, join chef Armond Joseph, the rising star chef behind Shelter Island’s Léon 1909, on the mainland for a radical reinvention of a classic coastal tradition: the clambake.
Known for his intuitive blending of seaside, Italian, and Palestinian influences, chef Joseph will bring his deep understanding of the farmland and waters that surround him to a hyper-local feast featuring pristine, wild-foraged, and sustainably caught East End treasures. Expect a magnificent spread with delicacies such as Peconic Gold oysters, Montauk red shrimp, razor clams, and a show-stopping lobster. The evening will be a truly seasonal celebration of the land and sea and all that is summer “out East”. 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&amp;A with the featured chefs.PRICE: Dining Table&nbsp;$210 Internal Chef's Counter $250

<h4>Featuring Rising Star Chefs Alam Méndez and James Beard Award Semifinalist® José Contreras</h4>
From tlayudas to tamales, tortillas to tetelas, Mexico's street food culture is fundamentally inseparable from corn. Featuring two of the country’s rising voices—chef Alam Méndez, co-founder of Washington, D.C.’s acclaimed Apapacho Taqueria, and James Beard Award semifinalist® José Contreras of Tucson’s Amelia's Kitchen—this collaborative menu anchors itself in the vital relationship between heirloom corn and the coast. Drawing inspiration from the Pacific shores of Oaxaca up to the Sea of Cortez in Sonora, the chefs will showcase how traditional masa serves as the structural canvas for regional coastal ingredients. The dishes pair foundational corn preparations with fresh seafood and wild greens, highlighting deeply personal recipes rooted in their respective upbringings.
To round out the experience, the dinner will be paired with artisanal Mexican spirits from Mijenta Tequila, reflecting the equally rich and evolving landscape of Mexican beverage culture. 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&amp;A with the featured chefs.PRICE:&nbsp;Dining Table&nbsp;$210 Internal Chef's Counter $250

<h4>An Evening with Celebrated Chef and Author Claudette Zepeda</h4>
Celebrate the release of Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States with chef, author, and Top Chef alumna Claudette Zepeda. Zepeda’s new cookbook traces a deeply personal journey across the borderlands, starting on the Pacific Coast where chef Zepeda grew up crossing back and forth between San Diego and Tijuana, and heading east through the Sonoran Desert.
This evening’s menu shares the recipes of her upbringing and travels that bridge the nomadic legacy of her grandmother—who learned the regional dishes of nearly every state in Mexico—with the multicultural, third-culture cuisine born at the border. Driven by the balance of regional spices and smoke, the dishes highlight this rich cultural exchange, from the unexpected Cantonese–Szechuan flavors of Mexicali’s La Chinesca to the rugged traditions of desert vaqueros. Each course brings the culinary anthropology of her highly anticipated book straight to the plate and honors the matriarchs who shaped her craft.
Copies of Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States will be available for purchase with tickets and at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts &amp; Letters. 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&amp;A with the featured chefs.PRICE: Dining Table&nbsp;$210 Internal Chef's Counter $250 Book Add-On $28
