Our James Beard Brunch


The Night Kitchen team was asked to create a Brunch at the James Beard House in New York City last month. The sold out event was a tremendous success. The guests loved the food and were extremely appreciative. We created a menu that highlighted Night Kitchen dessert favorites like Sticky Buns, Gorgonzola Walnut Scones, Shortbread Cookies and Iced Brownies and paired them with savory foods like Bacon and Leek Strata, Spring Pea Soup and Braised Jamison Farm Lamb Shanks. The team of chefs were Night Kitchen's Alex Kujawa, Jen Low, Amy Edelman and John Millard plus Alex's Chef husband Chris Kujawa and Jen's Chef husband Sean Williams. It is quite an honor to be asked to cook at the James Beard House. We were happy to participate and contribute to the fundraising efforts of the James Beard Foundation that provides education and scholarship opportunities for budding Chefs.
