Chef Chris Hastings is cooking at Harry’s on August 15 at 7:00 p.m. The cookbook author and newly-minted 2012 James Beard Best Chef South is visiting from ‘Bama to drum up some of the warm hospitality and seasonal cuisine with Southern influences that has made his Hot & Hot Fish Club Birmingham’s best and one of the country’s finest restaurants.

To guild the lily, we’ve invited Gadsden, Alabama brewery Back Forty Beer Company to share their portfolio of beers, being introduced to the Florida market for the first time in August.  You tasted it here first, folks!

After esteemed visiting guest chefs Gabrielle Hamilton, Jonathan Waxman, Marc Vetri, Jonathon Sawyer, Kevin Sbraga, chef/owners Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Animal and Son of a Gun in Los Angeles, and Summer of Riesling Overload Paul Grieco, please join us for our first chef pop-up where beer is king.  Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, four courses including dessert, and free-flowing beer poured by visiting brewery Back Forty, and a signed cookbook from Chris, with tax & gratuity included for $129.

Menu is as follows:
