For those that like to eat, the Great Chefs Dinner on Sunday at the Hayground School in Bridgehampton is a must-attend event. It's like Chefs & Champagne, but more intimate and definitely one our favorite events of the season. This year, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi will be the guest "chef" and will be making dessert (tequila cherry chocolate chip ice cream).
There's an overwhelming amount of food at this event, which is divided into two parts: It kicks off with a cocktail hour and then there's a full sit down dinner afterwards. Here are the menus for both:
