James Beard Foundation Hosts JBF Greens X Avec

For over 17 years, Avec has served Mediterranean and midwestern-influenced plates on Randolph Row. At the helm is chef de cuisine Dylan Patel, who started at the restaurant as an intern in 2015. On Tuesday, August 23 at 6:30 p.m., Chef Dylan will curate a rustic menu that incorporates Indian flavors inspired by travels to his grandfather’s farm in India. This dining experience will take place on the 2nd floor and will mirror the style of dining at avec: communal. The evening will also feature sparkling wine from J Vineyards & Winery.
