Decade kicks off its Summer Guest Chef Series on Thursday, June 6th with James Beard-nominated chef, Alison Settle (formerly of Barn8), who will offer a special a-la-carte menu alongside Decade’s regular dinner menu.
Settle’s menu will highlight her interpretation of a variety of comfort foods and meals we grew up on, such as soup beans + cornbread and green bean casserole.
“Lately, the speed and transitions of life have left me feeling a bit overwhelmed. With those emotions, comfort has been my nutrient deficiency. This evening is the embodiment of the meals we grew up on, and the dishes we shared during times of joy or grief in the presence of our chosen family. This menu is a warm hug,” says Settle.
Reservations are recommended but not required.
See the full menu below and stay tuned for the next event on July 25th featuring Kathy Cary, former chef/owner of Lilly’s Bistro, and a seven-time James Beard Awards nominee.
