Meadowood Reveals 2013's 12 Days of Christmas Lineup

To get you in the holiday spirit, the three Michelin star California restaurant The Restaurant at Meadowood just released the lineup for its sixth annual Twelve Days of Christmas dining series, and it is a doozy. This year's event will feature the culinary talents of resident chef Christopher Kostow as well as those of David Chang (Momofuku), Andy Ricker (Pok Pok), David Kinch (Manresa, CA), Tim Cushman (O Ya, Boston), Matthew Accarrino (SPQR, SF), team Mark Ladner/Brooks Headley (Del Posto, NYC), Nicolaus Balla/Cortney Burns (Bar Tartine, SF), Ashley Christensen (Poole's Diner, NC) and Carlo Mirarchi (Roberta's/Blanca. Brooklyn). Expect some international talent this time around too: Rodolfo Guzman (Boragó, Santiago, Chile) and Rasmus Kofoed (Geranium, Denmark) will also be there. Each night's dinner will be paired with wines from a different California winery.

The event kicks off December 6, and runs until December 21. A seat in the dining room will run you $395. If you're the the market for a close-to-the-action experience, Chef's Table seats are available for a cool $750 before tax and tip. The restaurant will donate 20 percent of each dinner as well as $2,000 per chef to various Napa Valley charities.
