March 21, 7:00 P.M. Dinner: Making Waves: A FisHERwoman Feast

Celebrating Women in Sustainable Seafood with Chef Nicole Cabrera Mills of Pêche

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

In honor of Women’s History Month, we are highlighting some of the unsung women working in sustainable seafood. Helming the dinner is 2024 Food & Wine Best New Chef Nicole Cabrera Mills of the celebrated seafood restaurant Pêche in New Orleans. Originally from the Philippines, chef Mills began her career with restaurateur Danny Meyer at the Union Square Hospitality Group, cooking at Eleven Madison Park and with Gabriel Kreuther at The Modern at MoMA. She went on to work in Los Angeles, and then in her native Philippines, and in 2013, she  moved to New Orleans to cook at Peche where she is recognized for her innovative approach to Gulf seafood and her commitment to local farms.
The menu will showcase a variety of seafood sourced by a range of women in the industry—from Stefanie Bassett and Elizabeth Peeples of Little Ram Oyster Company to kelp farmer Suzie Flores. Join us as we dive into a delicious meal, gain a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainable fishing practices, and support the women who are making waves in the seafood world.
