Today's Special

 is a hopeful read about the most exciting up-and-coming chefs who will sustain and recreate the restaurant industry. The full list of nominated chefs is now released on FineDiningLovers.com. The launch campaign will celebrate the book's themes of mentorship, as well as the incredible innovation and resilience the industry has demonstrated in the past year. 

S.Pellegrino and Phaidon will host two virtual events featuring leading culinary voices. Hugh Acheson, world-renowned chef, food writer, and restaurateur, will be in-conversation with two chefs he nominated in Today's Special, Mei Lin (Nightshade, Los Angeles), and Flynn McGarry (Gem, New York). The event will be moderated by Fine Dining Lovers Editor-in-Chief, Ryan King.

S.Pellegrino and Phaidon are also proud to present 'Today's Special At Home,' a timely program that reflects the ways restaurants have reimagined, evolved, and inspired over the last year. Four restaurants across the country will offer limited edition 'Today's Special At Home' boxes featuring dishes from and inspired by the book. Customers will enjoy an elevated dine-at-home experience accompanied by a copy of Today's Special and a S.Pellegrino Limited Edition Diamond Bottle. Participating chefs include:
