The Eater Young Guns program is one of the brands most beloved tentpoles, an annual list celebrating the industry’s fresh new faces. From sommeliers to chefs, cheesemongers to captains, these are the talents shaping the future of dining in America. In 2019, our partnership with Grey Goose brought the celebration to life with our first annual Eater Young Guns Summit, as well as a trio of intimate pop up events which took place across New York City this August and September.
The 1-2 Punch
First up, 2018 Young Gun Chelsea Gregoire led a hands-on cocktail and punch-making class at DeKalb Market Hall on August 20. All the drinks from Gregoire, founder of beverage consulting firm Drinkable Genius, were accompanied by curated bites from Eater’s favorite DeKalb Market vendors, including BK Jani, Kotti, Likkle More Jerk, Arepa Lady, and Hana Noodle.
