The 12 Days of Christmas guest chef dinner series at The Restaurant at Meadowood, which is very much like Christmas for diners lucky enough to attend, returns this season after a hiatus last year, which, yes, felt a bit like canceling Christmas.
The Chronicle has the lineup for this year, and it’s a who’s who of world famous, and, (incidentally?) all-male chef talent. Here was the roster for the last 12 Days of Christmas, held in 2015.
Each dinners is $500 per person or $725 for chef’s counter seating, and tickets will be sold through Tock starting on September 1.

Christopher Kostow (The Restaurant at Meadowood), St. Helena
A lot has happened since the last 12 Days of Christmas. Meadowood chef Christopher Kostow — who closes out the holiday festivities with the final meal — has opened a second, more casual restaurant, The Charter Oak. Of course, whether it’s casual enough is open to debate among critics.
