This year's awardee, Chef/Owner of the Boston-based Barbara Lynch Collective, will be in conversation with Boston Public Library President David Leonard. Following the discussion, which will include details about Barbara Lynch's memoir Out of Line: A Life of Playing with Fire, there will be an audience Q&A. Druker Company President Ronald M. Druker will give welcoming remarks.
“If you have an appetite for culinary adventure, you’ll devour the feisty and fun memoir by James Beard award-winning chef and philanthropist Barbara Lynch.”
