Join Chef John Shields for a rare evening of inspiration and friendship at an extraordinary homecoming for Chef Christopher Kostow and his team. In 2020, The Restaurant at Meadowood, the beloved three-Michelin-star restaurant located in St. Helena, CA, was destroyed by the Glass Incident Fire. As the restaurant takes its first steps toward the next iteration of The Restaurant at Meadowood, the team will travel the world and work in collaboration with restaurants whose approach and perspective have long inspired the team.

Chef Christopher Kostow has been friends with Chef John Shields inside and outside of the kitchen for a long while. Their cooking styles very closely mirror the other, including respect for farmers, an emphasis on preservation, and a clean distillation of flavors. Chicago also holds special sentiment for members of the team and Chef Kostow, who was originally from Illinois. Learn more: smythandtheloyalist.com
