Savor Mediterranean Summer Vibes with a Mid-Atlantic Twist
Join chef Tyler Akin of Philadelphia's acclaimed Bastia for an extraordinary culinary voyage celebrating the cuisines of both Corsica and Sardinia. These two Mediterranean islands, nestled off the coasts of France and Italy, offer diverse culinary traditions shaped by centuries of history and culture by the sea. Chef Akin will craft a multi-course dinner that balances Corsican and Sardinian points of view, expertly reinterpreted through the Mid-Atlantic's rich seasonality. His deep-rooted connections with purveyors abroad and dedication to culinary exploration shine in every dish. This authenticity is reflected in his handmade pastas, from pillowy Corsican Storzapretti ricotta dumplings to his Sardinian Malloreddus paired with bluefin tuna belly, nettle pesto, and favas. This dining experience promises to transport guests through flavors that earned Bastia recognition by Esquire and Philadelphia Magazine.
