Discover one of Syracuse’s most distinctive dining destinations with a special evening at Eden, where open-fire cooking, seasonal ingredients, and an adventurous wine program come together in the heart of the city. Chef Rich Strub's menu will feature dishes cooked over Eden’s signature wood-fired hearth, drawing inspiration from the season and global flavors while showcasing local ingredients and purveyors. Sommelier Keenan Davis will complement the experience with two optional tiers of thoughtfully curated wine pairings. Set within a restored historic building, Eden has built its identity around the connection between fire, farm, food, and wine—making this weekend dinner experience a fitting introduction to its first Friends of James Beard Benefit®.

This event 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.
