Savor Mediterranean Summer Vibes with a Mid-Atlantic Valley Twist

Join chef Tyler Akin of Philadelphia's acclaimed Bastia for an extraordinary culinary voyage celebrating the cuisine of Corsica and Sardinia. These two Mediterranean islands, nestled off the coasts of France and Italy, offer diverse culinary traditions shaped by centuries of history and culture by the sea. Chef Akin will craft a multi-course dinner that balances a Corsican and Sardinian point of view with a Mid-Atlantic lens; his commitment to exploration shines in every dish, shaped by his meaningful connections with local operators and purveyors abroad. This dining experience promises to transport guests through flavors that earned Bastia recognition by Esquire.
