Japanese and Thai fare take center stage at this special Beard House collaboration between Penny Chutima, second-generation owner of the Beard Award–winning Las Vegas restaurant Lotus of Siam, and Sarah Gavigan, author and chef/owner of the Otaku Group in Nashville. Joined by butcher and owner (and fellow Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership alum) Jocelyn Guest of J&E SmallGoods this trio of fierce entrepreneurs will come together to celebrate the innovation and vigor that a new generation can bring to timeless culinary traditions.

We’re partnering with Audi again for a second series of dinners featuring talented graduates from the Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (WEL) program, part of the Women's Leadership Programs presented by Audi. Audi's #DriveProgress initiative reflects a commitment to cultivating and promoting a culture that enables women to achieve their highest potential by removing barriers to equity, inclusivity, growth and development.
