The Young & The Talented: Midwest Heavyweights Work the Ropes at The Silk Rodeo
Super pumped to have this well known and respected young chef for round 6 of The Silk Rodeo. A few short weeks after he announced his departure as Chef de Cuisine at Elaia he was named Executive Chef of Element. Josh is a midwesterner through and through and loves to show off his roots in his food. He is all about providing fresh clean food and likes to cook comfort food with a twist.
Josh has asked top Sommelier Andrey Ivanov to take a ride on the Silk Rodeo with him. Andrey is selecting some incredible wines. Prepare to be blown away.
About Andrey...Andrey took home the top prize at the highly regarded Chaine de Rotissuers young Sommeliers Competition in Santa Barbara, CA on May 15th. This just after taking third place in the Guild of Sommeliers TopSomm competition in April. We would link you to an article but there are so many out there. Andrey also just recently opened his restaurant, Reeds American Table in Maplewood. The guy is a rock star!
As you can imagine, this is not just dinner. It's going to be an epic celebration of food, wine and culture held inside St Louis' most eclectic furniture store, Hammer & Hand Imports. You will be dinning on gorgeous farm tables and surrounded by antique and vintage imported treasures. To top it off, we will have one of a kind floral arrangements by one of St Louis favorite floral designers, Jenny Thomasson of Stems.

We have aptly named this dinner The Young & Talented: Midwest Heavyweights. Josh is ready to rock this dinner. He wanted it to be more intimate and limit the seats to 30. But is that enough for St Louis? No way! It was decided, two seatings would be in order. We will have a 5:30 and a 7:30 seating.
Here's what Josh has to say about the menu...
As far as the menu/style, I have taken traditional "Asian" dishes or parts of dishes and put my Midwestern spin on them. I have always been drawn to Asian flavors such as soy, ginger, cilantro, lime and chilies but also the thought process behind the Asian cuisine. Everything must be in balance. Acid, salt, sweet, bitter and unami. I think my cooking style naturally reflects these flavors and balance. When all of these tastes come together you end up with very "clean" food where you can really let the ingredients shine.
