Dinner: A Wild, Shelter Island–Style Summer Clambake

Featuring Celebrated Chef Armond Joseph of Léon 1909Accessible only by boat and anchored between Long Island’s North and South Forks, Shelter Island is the ultimate summer escape. For one night only, join chef Armond Joseph, the rising star chef behind Shelter Island’s Léon 1909, on the mainland for a radical reinvention of a classic coastal tradition: the clambake. Known for his intuitive blending of seaside, Italian, and Palestinian influences, chef Joseph will bring his deep understanding of the farmland and waters that surround him to a hyper-local feast featuring pristine, wild-foraged, and sustainably caught East End treasures. Expect a magnificent spread with delicacies such as Peconic Gold oysters, Montauk red shrimp, razor clams, and a show-stopping lobster. The evening will be a truly seasonal celebration of the land and sea and all that is summer “out East”. https://www.jamesbeard.org/events/dinner--a-wild--shelter-island-style-summer-clambake
