We’re kicking off our Chef Series with Michelin-starred Chef Paul Virant on September 17.
Paul has built a career around seasonal ingredients, preservation, and a deep connection to Midwestern farmers, earning national recognition along the way, including multiple James Beard nominations.
For this dinner, we’re bringing his perspective into the kitchen at Ox Bar & Hearth, where our teams will come together to create a menu rooted in our shared appreciation for the Midwest, while showcasing our individual approaches to cooking.
