Garden State Bounty, 7:00 P.M.
Greg Vassos, Brick Farm Tavern, Hopewell, NJ

Years of training under culinary icons Eric Ripert and Dean James Max allowed Greg Vassos to develop his signature style of reinterpreting classic dishes through unconventional techniques. Now at Brick Farm Tavern, Vassos plies diners with field-to-table cuisine in its truest form by sourcing his proteins exclusively from the onsite 800-acre Double Brook Farm. His Beard House menu highlights Garden State bounty and his unique farmhouse concept, with plates like Ossabaw Rillettes with Chicharrones; Beets with Hun-Val Farm Ricotta, Puffed Wild Rice, and Bee Pollen; and Roasted Pumpkin Gateau with Wineberry Gelée, White Chocolate Mousse, and Caramelized Milk.
