For our annual softshell crab celebration, we’ve tapped host chef Nookie Postal to cull a formidable lineup of chefs from New England and beyond to honor the prized ingredient during its woefully fleeting season. Join us for this scrumptious Beard House repast, which will feature the crave-worthy crustacean in each savory course.
