Monthly Dinner: Armenian Cuisine

About this event

We are hosting a unique dining experience at The Kitchen with Boston

local, Chef Marc Orfaly. He is tapping into his Armenian background

and bringing traditional and familial fare. Complimentary drink and wine pairings included.

Orfaly has worked with Todd English, Barbara Lynch in Boston, Joachim

Splichal in Los Angeles, Mark Peel and Nancy Silverton at Campanile

and in New York with Rocco DiSpirito.

A restaurateur, Orfaly has owned Pigalle, Marco, and Peking Tom. His

culinary influence and direction were part of The Beehive, Jade

Monkey, and most recently, The ReelHouse in East Boston. Orfaly was

nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award multiple times (Nominee, Best Chefs in America 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010) and Food & Wine named him one of the best new chefs of 2004.
