On the Menu: Week of June 29

Here's what's coming up at the James Beard House and around the country:

Monday, June 29, 7:00 P.M.

Reinventing a Landmark

Combine a landmark San Francisco bar with the celebrated minds behind New York City’s Spotted Pig and the John Dory Oyster bar, and it’s no wonder that the newly revamped Tosca Cafe landed on Bon Appétit’s Best of 2014 list. Come to the Beard House for a taste of chef Josh Even’s lauded rustic Italian fare, cross-country flight not required.

Women Rock the Kitchen

Tuesday, June 30, 7:00 P.M.

Watch out, New York: this all-women group of mid-Atlantic power players is coming to town on a delicious diplomatic mission. Several of the biggest food names in and around our nation’s capital will be reaching across the burners to collaborate during what promises to be a spectacular and spirited evening.

Lima to London

Wednesday, July 1, 7:00 P.M.

Ask well-traveled chefs to name their favorite culinary destination, and more often than not the answer will be Peru. The home of ceviche and other Andean specialties is a particular inspiration to Peruvian native Martin Morales at his popular London hot spots, Andina and Ceviche. Join us at the Beard House as Morales explores his roots through a menu highlighting the versatility of the cuisine and featuring Peruvian avocados.
