Featuring Shan, a 2024 James Beard Award Nominee® for Best New Restaurant
At Shan—the 2024 James Beard Award nominee® for Best New Restaurant —chefs Jarrett Wrisley and Candice Lin connect Thai and Chinese cooking with the ingredients and landscapes of the American West.
Their Bozeman, Montana restaurant was shaped by two decades spent in Beijing, Sichuan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. After closing their long-running Bangkok institution, Soul Food Mahanakorn, the pair relocated to the Rocky Mountains and opened Shan.
The menu draws on flavors and culinary approaches from Northern Thailand and Southwest China, applied to local Montana beef, lamb, and bison, alongside dishes built around broths, ferments, chiles, and aromatics—resulting in expressive Asian cooking interpreted through Rocky Mountain ingredients and foodways.
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.
