We're continuing our Meet the Chef series with a dinner at Reid's Fine Foods in SouthPark!

Think of the dinner as culinary storytelling. New executive chef Ryan Allen will take you through his childhood and career with four courses and an amuse bouche inspired by different stages of his life, and share with you the story behind each one. Throughout the night, he'll answer questions and say hello.
