Dinner for Eight Hosted by Matt and Katherine Glendinning with special guest Chef Neath Pal Join Matt and Katherine together with Chef Neath Pal, Moses Brown Class of ’81, for dinner at MB’s new head of school residence. A lucky party of eight will enjoy an evening of exquisite cuisine created and prepared by Chef Pal who currently is an instructor in the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson and Wales University. Chef Pal studied at France’s prestigious LaVarenne cooking school. After working in several Parisian restaurants, he returned home to Rhode Island, where he spent a year at Al Forno’s. From there he helped establish L’Epicureo, which quickly gained national attention, as well as Grappa, another celebrated bistro. Chef Pal specializes in international and Asian cuisines. In 1998, Pal opened Neath's New American Bistro. Bryan Miller, former food critic of the New York Times, praised the restaurant as a "giant leap eastward" for the Providence food scene. Blending French and Asian influences, the eclectic menu highlighted the flavors of Pal’s native Cambodia such as coconut milk, lemongrass, Kaffir lime and Thai basil. After nearly a decade, Chef Pal closed his successful restaurant to spend time with his children. In 2008, he joined JWU as an instructor. The evening promises great fun, frivolity, fellowship and culinary delights! Date to be determined in consultation with Chef Pal and the Glendinnings. To be used during 2012.
