From the “Whiskey Without a Headache” to the hotel built on a legendary well, this is a night where history, craftsmanship, and hospitality come together around the table. Join Oak & Third at The Crazy Water Hotel for a five-course collaboration dinner featuring Chef Stefon Rishel of Oak & Third and Chef Christian Lehrmann of Chapel Bar and Side Saddle Saloon. Together, these chefs bring two distinct culinary voices to one table—equal parts bold, creative, and rooted in craftsmanship. When Chef Stefon Rishel and Chef Christian Lehrmann get together, “safe” isn’t usually on the menu. Both chefs are known for pushing flavor, honoring great ingredients, and bringing their own creative perspective to classic techniques. The result is a five-course collaboration that is bold, unexpected, and unapologetically memorable. Paired alongside Green River Bourbon—a Kentucky whiskey whose story dates back to 1885 and whose revival has become one of the bourbon industry’s great comeback stories—each course celebrates craftsmanship, heritage, and the pursuit of doing things the right way. Much like the chefs behind this dinner, Green River’s legacy is built on character, authenticity, and a willingness to stand apart. Expect inventive cuisine, exceptional bourbon, lively conversation, and an evening designed around one simple belief: some of life’s best moments happen when great people gather around a table. Stories. Craft. Community. One unforgettable night.
