Chef Damaris Phillips will lead a culinary celebration of Kentucky summers during the Song Summit Supper Club at Le Depot Brasserie in Park City, scheduled for Friday, August 28, 2026. This event is part of a three-night series running from August 27 through August 29, 2026, that pairs award-winning chefs with musicians to explore the intersection of food, music, and storytelling.
Kentucky Summer Culinary Journey
The Friday evening installment features Phillips, a James Beard-nominated chef, author, and television personality, performing alongside My Morning Jacket drummer Patrick Hallahan. According to organizers, the menu for the night will be inspired by their shared Kentucky roots, offering a journey through Southern flavors and warm summer memories through a four-course dinner. The experience is intended to capture the unmistakable feeling of a Kentucky summer through both cuisine and musical artistry.
Each Supper Club event follows a structured itinerary beginning with a welcome hour at 5:00 PM. Guests are served passed hors d’oeuvres and a signature cocktail or mocktail before a seated four-course dinner begins promptly at 6:00 PM. While the dining experience is intimate, a cash bar remains available throughout the evening to complement the culinary offerings.
Three Nights of Themed Dining
The three-night series at Le Depot Brasserie begins on Thursday, August 27, 2026, with a theme titled Nashville in the Mountains. This opening event features four-time James Beard Award winner and Emmy-winning chef, author, and television personality Andrew Zimmern. He will be joined by acclaimed bluegrass musician and multi-instrumentalist Sierra Hull to celebrate the culinary craft and bluegrass traditions that connect Nashville to the mountains.
The series concludes on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with a theme focused on New Orleans. This final evening features Stephanie Izard, a James Beard Award winner, author, television personality, and the first woman to win Bravo’s Top Chef. Izard will be joined by award-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter Ivan Neville to present a gastronomic journey to the Bayou, blending bold flavors with the soul of New Orleans.
Historic Venue and French Cuisine
Le Depot Brasserie, the host venue for the Supper Club, is a French-inspired restaurant located on historic Main Street in Park City. The establishment is operated by James Beard Chef Galen Zamarra, who draws inspiration from his professional experience working alongside renowned French chefs in France. The menu at Le Depot features modern approaches to authentic French classics, such as Roasted Bone Marrow and the Plateau de Fruits de Mer.
The building itself holds significant local history. After serving as an iconic landmark for decades, the structure was restored in 1995 to house Robert Redford’s Zoom Restaurant, which remained in operation until it closed in 2017. Under the new ownership of Reef Capital, the facility has been revitalized to offer fresh life to the cherished building. The current leadership team includes General Manager Star Finnegan, Floor Manager Corey Kikos, and Executive Pastry Chef Cassidy Cabel.
Intimate Musical Experiences
The Song Summit Supper Club is set against the backdrop of Park City's established live music legacy. As noted by Visit Park City in a June 25, 2026, report, the Marquis Park City serves as a historic concert and private event venue that anchors the city's live music presence from the center of Main Street. The Marquis is described as a cutting-edge performance and private event venue with a capacity of 1,050 people, featuring state-of-the-art lighting and professional production capabilities.
By contrast, the Supper Club events at Le Depot Brasserie are designed to be highly intimate. The venue offers a limited number of seats each night to ensure guests are close to the featured culinary and musical artists. This setting is intended to allow for personal connections and a closer appreciation of the stories and creative sparks that drive the chefs and musicians involved in the series.
Connecting Food and Music
The Song Summit Supper Club aims to transform regional traditions and personal histories into an immersive sensory experience. By pairing specific themes—such as Nashville bluegrass, Kentucky summers, or New Orleans soul—with high-profile talent, the organizers seek to create a space where food and music speak a common language through shared storytelling and exceptional cuisine.
