Champe and Lisa Speidel

Persimmon, Bristol, RI; and Persimmon Provisions, Barrington, RI

In the quaint, seaside town of Bristol, the bright and modern American cooking of husband-and-wife team Champe and Lisa Speidel lures in food lovers from all over the region. (It’s no surprise that Champe is also a two-time JBF Award semifinalist.) Join us when the couple returns to the Beard House.
