Silverton, Brock, Waxman, Bloomfield to Headline Quince's 10th Anniversary Dinners

Quince, Michael and Lindsay Tusk's beloved Jackson Square Italian restaurant, turns 10 this year, and they've already gotten a pretty good present in the form of their second Michelin star. But the duo aren't content to let the occasion pass without one hell of a party, in the form of 10 nights of dinners featuring some of the country's best chefs. Awesome cooks will be pouring in from every corner of the country for the events, including L.A.'s Nancy Silverton (Osteria Mozza), Josiah Citrin (Melisse), and Michael Cimarusti (Providence); NYC's Jonathan Benno (Lincoln), Jonathan Waxman (Barbuto), Marco Canora (Hearth), and Michael Anthony and Danny Meyer (Gramercy Tavern); Birmingham's Frank Stitt (Highlands Bar and Grill), and Charleston's Sean Brock (Husk). Hell, they're going to have Evan Rich, Thomas McNaughton, Melissa Chou, Cortney Burns, Chanan Kamen, and Danny Brooks, all on the same night. We're also told that one more chef is likely to be added to the lineup: Alice Waters, who may team up with recent bicoastal empire-builder April Bloomfield for the final dinner.

Here's the complete lineup:

December 1 - Exclusive White Truffle Dinner with Michael Tusk
