Wicked Good Food - A Tribute to Boston’s Union Oyster House with Chef Richard McPeake

Join us for a special evening learning “ye old New England classics” as we pay homage to the Union Oyster House – America’s oldest restaurant. This historic landmark has been serving up authentic New England fare for more than 280 years and is a must-see stop when visiting Boston.

Tonight, experienced instructor Chef Richard McPeake will teach you to re-create some of the most iconic dishes of this Beantown favorite. (Psst... You may not realize that Chef McPeake has a bit of a 'fishy' past... he designed the original recipes for one of Kansas City’s most iconic restaurants, Bristol Bar & Grill, so he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to cooking with fish!)  

We’ll start with a Basque-Style Mussels and Clam Chowder ("It’s Chowda, Bobby!”), then move on to Pan-Seared Shrimp with a Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce, Saffron Rice, and, of course, Boston Baked Beans. We’ll end with a classic Boston Cream Pie.

Take it from us, ya beddanot miss this one!
