A Harvest Celebration of Summer’s Most Iconic Ingredient

Join us for a special evening with acclaimed Chef Greg Baxtrom—an alum of Alinea and Per Se. and chef and owner of Olmsted, Five Acres, Patti Ann’s, and Petite Patate—for a multi-course dinner spotlighting the bold, bright flavors of peak-season tomatoes.

Inspired by the height of the late summer harvest, the menu will showcase the versatility of the tomato in imaginative and unexpected forms. The dinner will feature signature dishes from Baxtrom’s restaurants, including the Tomato Schnitzel from Olmsted—crispy, juicy, and entirely unforgettable.

Don’t miss the chance to savor this beloved seasonal ingredient at its flavorful peak prepared by one of New York City’s most innovative chefs.
