An Evening with Chef Joe Paxton

At The War Memorial, we believe in the power of cuisine as art. For our March 28th edition of An Evening with Chef Joe Paxton, Chef Joe’s Steakhouse is open for one night only! You’ll experience a themed menu with remarks on each course delivered by our Executive Chef, along with an opportunity for you to ask questions on ingredient selection and technique.
