October 15, 2014 The New England Kitchen Cookbook Launch at Island Creek Oyster Bar

island creek 10Last week I attended a cookbook launch party at Island Creek Oyster Bar. Jeremy Sewall  has an impressive resume. He was nominated as a rising star chef by the James Beard Foundation, he opened Great Bay in 2003, opened his own restaurant, Lineage in Brookline, in 2006, collaborated on Eastern Standard in 2009, opened Island Creek Oyster Bar in 2010 and opened Row 34 in 2013.
