The Howard Hughes Corporation has unveiled the latest edition of the Seaport Food Lab presented by Chase Sapphire. The Seaport Food Lab – the Seaport’s leading experience for New York’s finest tastemakers – celebrates its newest concept by bringing the internet’s favorite food stars for a series of intimate dinners this November.
Season 5 of Seaport Food Lab Details
From November 2 to 19, the immersive culinary experience will welcome slow food advocate and recipe developer Pierce Abernathy, bon appétit’s former Senior Food Editor and Test Kitchen host Christina Chaey, and chef DeVonn Francis. The two founded the creative studio Yardy in 2017 for a four-night residency each, focusing on exploring themes of culture and community.
This year’s Seaport Food Lab event is a chance to delight in each of the culinary creators’ vision of the perfect meal in an intimate setting, with unique guest interactions in real life and surprise elements with each residency. Each resident chef will debut an exclusive multi-course food and beverage menu illustrating their talents and cultural flavors, centered on the simple philosophy of good food and good people. This year’s chefs include:
- Pierce Abernathy (November 2 to 5): Cook, recipe developer, content creator, and model Pierce Abernathy shares a vignette into his cooking style through seasonal plant-forward recipes. Pierce strives to make diners to play an active role in their food systems and feel more connected to the earth by teaching techniques in food waste, foraging, and cultivating relationships with local farms. Largely self-taught, Pierce’s path into the culinary arts was carved by a combination of his own curiosity, a seasonal approach to food, and his Armenian heritage.
- Christina Chaey (November 6 to 9): Former Senior Food Editor at bon appetit, Christina Chaey has made a name for herself with her mouthwatering recipes and viral video remakes. Christina developed a deep love for sustainably farmed local and seasonal produce as a line cook at the former Untitled at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Christina enjoys riding around NYC on her bike and visiting the city’s green markets for the best local produce in her free time.
- DeVonn Francis (November 16 to 19): DeVonn Francis is the chef and Founding Director of Yardy World. This culinary studio specializes in creating immersive food experiences and reimagining Caribbean cuisine.
