We are happy to kick off our Chef Series with pastry chef Claudia Fleming. She moved to Southold with her husband, Gerry Hayden and dear friends, Mike and Mary Mraz to open North Fork Table & Inn in 2005, which was a pioneer of the farm to table movement becoming recognized as Long Island’s top rated restaurant, and one of the very few East End restaurants to be awarded the Slow Food Snail of Approval award. Claudia is a widely acclaimed pastry chef and author of the beautiful and delicious book, The Last Course, where she shares her tips and talents honed from a wonderful career working at favorite NYC restaurants, Union Square Cafe, Montrachet, Tribeca Bar & Grill, & Gramercy Tavern where she was awarded the coveted a James Beard Award in 2000. We are also delighted to have North Table co-founder, Mike Mraz participating tonight, a wine expert who now works with T Edwards Wine & Spirits, a distributor of fine wines and craft spirits.
