Aikens and Olexy visit the Beard House this fall
A couple local chefs have appointments at the prestigious James Beard House this fall. First up on Oct. 25 is Robert Aikens, Brit-born chef of Stephen Starr's jolly good show The Dandelion (124 S. 18th St.). He’s teaming up with his twin brother, Tom, of Michelin-starred Tom Aikens in London, for a seven-course, booze-included modern English feast involving poached pigeon with winter truffles, cider-glazed pork belly and the chicken liver/foie parfait we love sososomuch at Dandelion. (Find the menu, in its full, $205-per-person splendor, after the jump.) On Nov. 9, look for Aimee Olexy of Talula's Garden (210 W. Washington Square) and Talula's Table (102 W. State St., Kennett Square) at the Beard House. No menu yet ... maybe because ex-chef Matt Moon is still listed on the invitation?
