Chef Julius Russell's international family style dinner

August 13, 2013

As the season changes from the heat of summer, we tend to move toward comforting meals shared by the family. Chef Julius will bring together key dishes of various "family-style" meals from a few countries around the world into a single, multi-course dining experience.
