Gather around the Chef’s Counter at Burnt Hill Farm for an intimate evening celebrating food, wine, friendship, and the culinary community that inspires it. For one night only, chef/partner Tae Strain and founding winemaker Lisa Hinton welcome James Beard Award semifinalist® Carlos Raba and Lane Harlan of Baltimore’s acclaimed Clavel. Strain and Raba will bring their distinct culinary perspectives together for a collaborative two seating multi-course tasting menu shaped by season and place, while Hinton and Harlan create thoughtful beverage pairings that put Burnt Hill’s wines in conversation with each course. With just 12 seats overlooking the farm, the evening offers a rare opportunity to experience the creativity and collaboration of four celebrated food and beverage talents up close.

The Chef's Counter Experience at Burnt Hill Farm is part of the Friends of James Beard Benefit series; events hosted by generous people, businesses, and organizations outside of JBF that provide critical funding for our programs. Each event supports our mission to champion a standard of Good Food for Good® anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability.
