Today, the James Beard Award Foundation hosted their 2018 Nominations reception at Parc in Rittenhouse.
A motley mix of restaurant industry heavy hitters and journalists filled the cozy space, mingled and dined on a exquisitely prepared breakfast fare from Parc’s executive chef William Quinn.
The menu included poached eggs with piperade and french feta; herb-encrusted cold-poached beef filet with watercress-mint salad and horseradish cream; and hazelnut financiers and miniature coffee cakes
