This collaboration represented the meeting of two distinct culinary forces - Maxwell's unique venue providing the atmospheric backdrop, while Resident's professionally trained chefs bring their refined expertise to the experience.

Chef Josh's approach to Coastal Southern cuisine drew influence from three major culinary cities: Miami, New Orleans, and New York City, each renowned for its distinctive food culture and techniques.

As plates filled with character made their way to the table, cocktails flowed freely, and conversations sparked between guests. The evening carried the ease of catching up with old friends—even if introductions had just been made.

The Grand Kitchen at Maxwell's serves as the stage for this culinary partnership, creating an environment where the food becomes the centerpiece of genuine connection. The intimate atmosphere transforms what could be a formal dining experience into something that feels personal and spontaneous.
