Demo & Dine at Platform by James Beard Foundation hosted by Ryan Bartlow of Ernesto's

An Exquisite and Edible Education in Basque Cuisine

When Ernesto’s opened its dining room doors in 2019, it caused quite a stir on the New York restaurant scene: a sleek-but-casual Lower East Side restaurant serving up topnotch Basque fare. The top toque behind the luscious roasted suckling pig, the gooey and crispy salt cod croquetas and the mushrooms and foie gras is Chef Ryan Bartlow who learned his tricks of the trade at lauded and celebrated restaurants in San Sebastian and Pamplona.

And now, as part of NYCWFF, Chef Bartlow will show you how he creates some of these culinary masterpieces of the Basque region in northern Spain. You’ll not only get to see Chef Bartlow cook and learn from his skills, but you’ll get to feast on the best Basque food this side of the Atlantic too.

Wine pairings will be provided by Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits.
