Our World Cup series continues with a culinary face-off between two chef-friends: beloved Brit chef Ed Szymanski and Aussie Sam Lawrence.
Chef/co-owner Szymanski has brought his modern English cooking to the forefront of NYC dining with his popular West Village spots, including Lord’s, Dame, and Crevette. A James Beard Award semifinalist® for Best Chef: New York State, Szymanski has earned recognition from The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Esquire, and the Michelin Guide. Lawrence is the executive chef of downtown hot spot Bridges, which received a coveted Michelin star and a glowing two-star New York Times review with the headline “This Manhattan Restaurant Is Even Better Than Its Buzz.” Lucky diners will experience a collaborative menu blending the cuisines that shaped these acclaimed chefs, all in the spirit of friendly culinary competition.
