JBF Award winner Lydia Shire is as much a Boston institution as Locke-Ober, the 130-year-old restaurant she restored to historic splendor after her star turns at Biba and Pignoli. Join this group of Shire's current and former co-chefs as they fête the woman who helped transform Boston's culinary landscape.
