Decade Restaurant (1076 E. Washington St.) has announced a Summer Guest Chef Series, which will debut on Thursday, June 6 with James Beard-nominated chef Alison Settle (formerly of Barn8).
Chef Settle’s special a la carte menu will be offered alongside Decade’s regular dinner menu, highlighting her interpretations of comfort food and “meals we grew up on.” Reservations (via RESY) are recommended, but not required.
Looking ahead, on July 25 the Summer Guest Chef Series will feature Kathy Cary, former chef and owner at Lilly’s Bistro, and a seven-time James Beard nominee. Following is the special dinner menu for Thursday.

In F & D’s Fall 2023 edition, Cary Stemle interviewed Andy Myers, Matt Johnson and Chad Sheffield, who re-evaluated their experiences at Decca and opened Decade (where Butchertown Grocery and Blind Pig used to be).
PROFILE – Decade: When the distinguished NuLu restaurant Decca shut down last year, three veteran Deccans with a shared passion for excellence set out to keep the vibe alive just a few blocks away in Butchertown.
