Family Dinner: Southeast Asian By Way of New England Crab Supper

Price: $170

Join us for a dinner where we do all the cooking! Each month we open the doors between our classrooms and seat 40 guests for a five-course family-style feast, featuring all the ingredients we’re excited about. This winter join us for our favorite annual tradition: a New England Crab Supper. The format is familiar: we’ll wrap the table in newspaper and get our hands dirty cracking into piles of local Dungeness crab, with all the sides you could want. What’s new this year are flavors like lemongrass, coconut, and Lao sausage, courtesy of chefs Joe Bayley and Soy Dara. Pricing includes a wine pairing with each savory course, and tea or coffee with dessert.
