Featuring Zachary Engel and Andrés Clavero
Join JBF Greens at James Beard Award Semifinalist® Galit for a celebration of the 35th annual James Beard Awards®.
Open since 2019, Galit draws on chef/partner Zachary Engel’s time growing up in a Jewish household as the son of a rabbi, and his partner Andrés Clavero’s Palestinian background. Focusing on their similar upbringings, the duo’s intention was to create a place centered around community and food as a unifying force. This March, chef Zach and Andrés opened a sibling restaurant to Galit called Cafe Yaya.
For this occasion, chef Zach will prepare a three-course brunch of Middle Eastern dishes using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. Accompanying wines will be curated by Galit’s beverage director Scott Stroemer along with pastries and dessert made by executive pastry chef Mary Eder-McClure.
