Chef Dante de Magistris hits the Big Apple this month for an Italian Wine Lovers’ Dinner at the James Beard House. The blu chef will be whipping up a menu featuring dishes like caramelized bay scallops with chanterelles and citrus-dressed hearty lettuces; slow roasted wild boar with El Rey chocolate, baked chickpea gnocco and sour cherry; and an assortment of little citrus sweets. The dinner at the Beard House, to be held on Saturday, October 9th, costs $100 for members and $125 for guests. Make your reservations by calling the Beard House directly at 212.627.2308. Of course, if you’d prefer to stick closer to home, you can always catch de Magistris when he’s at the kitchen at blu – call 617.375.8550 to make reservations.
