Dinner: A Tribute to James Beard: Featuring Chefs Larry and Marc Forgione
In 1986, Larry Forgione, along with several culinary icons—Julia Child, Peter Kump, Barbara Kafka, and others—formed what is now known as the James Beard Foundation to maintain the legacy of the “Dean of American Cookery,” and their friend, James Beard. Inspired by his mentor and friend, chef Forgione forged a path that centered on, as the New Yorker described, “American American cooking.” His celebrated New York restaurant, An American Place, only opened two years before Beard’s death, but was soon lauded for its cuisine that forever changed the way we eat today. Forgione shared that passion with his son, Marc, who started working at An American Place at just 16 years old. Marc went on a culinary journey that took him through some of France and New York’s most notable kitchens and eventually opened his eponymous TriBeCa hotspot. He’s since taken over New York’s beloved Peasant and recently opened Trattoria One Fifth where he focuses primarily on his Italian and American influences. (He has also gained national attention for his time on Food Network’s Iron Chef.) Together this father-son chef duo will create a menu inspired by their deeply personal connection to James Beard and his tremendous impact on American cuisine. Please join us for this unforgettable dinner and storytelling, shared by chef Larry and Marc Forgione.
