Chef Jesse Schenker 

Jesse’s contemporary approach to recreating American classics is a reflection of who he is as a chef: equal parts devotee to highly refined techniques + a passion for all things delicious. Schenker first made his mark on the culinary scene in Manhattan with recette, the intimate urban American restaurant which he opened in New York’s West Village in January 2010. In addition to being a twice nominated James Beard Award semi-finalist, Schenker has received several awards and accolades, including a spot on Forbes “30 Under 30” list and Schenker was victorious in his battle on Food Network’s Iron Chef America in 2011. Schenker currently lives in Oyster Bay, New York with his family and runs acclaimed dining concepts 2 Spring, Spring St. 2Go and Four.


Stella Cole

To watch Stella Cole perform is to be transported back in time. Her sense of joy and wonder is infectious – one look at her massive social media following makes this clear. Take a quick scroll through the comments of any of her many viral videos and you’ll see not only her irresistible charm, but an ability to expose fans of all ages to the wonders of the Great American Songbook, especially when these timeless stories are told honestly by an artist with an uncanny ability to transcend generations.  

Upon first hearing Stella Cole, one is immediately struck by her rich tone and extraordinary vocal control. However, what is particularly rare is her ability to interpret songs that were initially intended for actors in character in a direct, personally vulnerable way that connects to something within herself, placing her in the lineage of the greatest interpreters of the repertoire. Perhaps most exciting, to her many young fans, who have never heard these songs before, these are Stella Cole songs, which clearly makes her one of the most exciting artists of her generation.
