Ready for The Oyster Experience on July 15? We have 4 in-person seats left! We are so excited to offer a little something different to make you feel like you’re on the coast.

We were put in touch with an oyster supplier that overnights them to the Midwest. Excited to provide this offer, offering as a cooking class for those who want to learn more and extend their culinary expertise.

412B Supper Club completed! Missed taking a photo of the pesto gnocchi course and cocktails but what a night! Huge thank you to The Recipe team and the Guests who joined us - I’m so fortunate to work with amazing people. ❤️

New to 412B? It is our reservation-only supper club pop-up restaurant that we host inside The Recipe with a different fixed menu each month created by our talented Chef Andy and Mixologist Noah. It is a multi-course extravaganza of delightful curated dishes not found anywhere else in the Midwest.
