More cool news for the Dirty. Recent ITCK participant Shaun Doty is headed to NYC in early February. While there, he’ll cook dinner at the James Beard House. In addition to handing out the James Beard Award, the JBF is a full fledged organization that offers recipes, hosts events, and even helps educate people.
One of their recurring events is a dinner series featuring a chef du jour. On February 3rd, that chef will be the aforementioned Doty. More details after the jump.
For Shaun’s Southern Charm, the JBF did a nice little write up on Doty:
“In a city now inundated with national-chain restaurants,” wrote reviewer John Mariani, “Shaun’s is a paragon of what contemporary Southern food can and should be.” The type of neighborhood bistro we’d move for, Shaun’s has wooed locals and critics alike with chef and owner Shaun Doty’s ingredient-driven, creative American cuisine.
The meal is a fully paired and prepared dinner inspired by the chef of the night. If you are in or around the NYC area around that time, this might be a cool little excursion. Here is the menu for February’s dinner:
