For the next chapter in the Good Ground Tavern Chef Series, Canoe Place in Hampton Bays will welcome Mashama Bailey, an award-winning chef known for soulful culinary storytelling. The visionary behind Savannah’s famed restaurant, The Grey, and a two-time James Beard Award winner, Chef Bailey will bring her unique blend of Southern tradition and multicultural influences to the venue on Friday, November 15, from 5 to 8:30 PM.
Chef Bailey draws inspiration from her roots, melding the rich culinary history of the South with her diverse experiences in New York and beyond. Her dishes are not just food but stories of resilience, community, and culinary creativity. Each dish will reflect her deep respect for heritage, seasonality, and regional produce, creating a dining experience that’s both comforting and bold. Expect vibrant flavors drawn by her childhood memories and the culinary tour she took across the Southern states, tasting everything from Nashville’s hot chicken to Alabama’s caramel cake. Every plate will tell a story of where she’s been and where she’s going.
The melodic vocals of Georgia Heers, a rising jazz vocalist and composer, will further enliven the evening’s atmosphere. Georgia brings an inspired performance style that harmonizes jazz, blues, and soul with a depth and authenticity that mirrors Chef Mashama’s culinary approach. Fresh from her studies at The Juilliard School, Georgia’s captivating voice and dynamic compositions will complement the evening’s elegant, soulful vibe.
