Cypress Tavern hosts Chef Justin Smillie of New York's acclaimed restaurant Upland in celebration of the chef's cookbook Slow Fires. The book focuses on the signature techniques of the chef, master of heat, to teach readers new ways to braise, roast and grill.  

The plated dinner will include four courses inspired from the cookbook with wine pairings, a welcome cocktail, and a copy of the cookbook. 

The chef, who opened Upland - named after his hometown in California - with veteran restauranteur Steven Starr, will open a Miami Beach location later this fall.
