Featuring James Beard Award–Recognized Littleneck Hospitality and Cocktails by 2026 James Beard Award Semifinalist® Jesse Hedberg
Providence is having a moment, and Littleneck Hospitality is right in the middle of it. The team behind James Beard Award semifinalist® Club Frills and fan-favorite Pizza Marvin heads to New York for a Rhode Island–inspired dinner. Chef Robert Andreozzi, a two-time James Beard Award semifinalist®, joins Nikhil Naiker, a James Beard Award nominee® for Emerging Chef, to spotlight Ocean State classics reinterpreted with a chef’s touch. Imagine a menu of johnnycakes with caviar, a bountiful raw bar, steamers, Portuguese chouriço, Rhode Island clam chowder—even the legendary New York System hot dog gets a gourmet glow-up.
Jesse Hedberg, a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist® for Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service, will be behind the bar mixing up creative libations and channeling the spirited hospitality that’s put these Providence spots on the map.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
