James Beard Foundation's Platform Event at Pier 57 at Platform at Pier 57, 25 11th Ave, New York
Top Chef alum Nelson Germán returns to his hometown of New York for a one-night-only collaboration dinner at the James Beard Foundation's Platform at Pier 57. Raised in Washington Heights and now based in Oakland — where he's the chef-restaurateur behind Sobre Mesa, alaMar, and Meski — Germán teams up with Afro-Honduran baker, author, and TV host Bryan Ford for an immersive Caribbean evening.

The dinner draws on Germán's new book, Caribbean Cocktails, co-authored with James Beard Award winner Andréa Lawson Gray. Cocktails lead the night, moving from bright and citrus-driven to rich, spiced, and savory, with dishes built to match. A zero-proof cocktail selection and a chef Q&A round out the experience.
