Thursday evenings at Gather by D’Amico feature $5 small plates and drink specials, and “limited edition” dishes from a roster of stellar guest chefs who share tastings each month.
Meet Seth Bixby Daugherty of the Arts Institute International Minnesota and former executive chef at D’Amico Cucina and Cosmos.
Bixby Daugherty was the executive chef at D’Amico Cucina for three years before taking on the role at Cosmos where his culinary influence was seen in the restaurant’s Asian-inspired fare. Daugherty had, according to the Star Tribune, “set a new local standard for gastronomic extravagance.” In 2007, Daugherty left Cosmos to pursue work with Real Food Initiatives, a partnership with local health experts to teach kids about food, wellness, and nutrition, hoping to improve K-12 school food programs.
