The inventive and educational six-course dinner with wine featured dishes inspired by artworks, paired with each course, created by Chef Michael Jeanty and Chef Joe Cipro, with dessert by Ursula XVII of Disset Chocolate. This series allows the chefs to create dishes based on the art — a continuous connection of inspiration and creativity.

The show featured a mix of original North Fork Art Collective members and new artists. All of the artists — including Scott Bluedorn, Verona Peñalba, Isadora Capraro, Georgia Suter, Paul Brooke, Daniel Jones, and Kara Hoblin — call the East End home or have spent a significant amount of time on the forks.
