Our March First Friday dinner celebrates Indianapolis chef, Regina Mehallick. Regina is a five-time James Beard Foundation Award Semifinalist and a true pioneer in the Midwest farm-to-table movement. She’s the former owner of R bistro and R2GO, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University’s Culinary Arts school, and currently shares her experience with young students at the beginning of their professional life with food as an adjunct instructor in Ivy Tech’s Culinary Arts Program. Our co-owner, chef Erin Kem served as sous and executive chef for Regina at R bistro for 12 years.

This R bistro Revival Dinner will bring Regina to the Nicole-Taylor’s kitchen where she will prepare some of her favorite R bistro dishes for you alongside Erin and chef Logan McMahan.
