Finale Dinner with Smithereens NYC Brings Maine-Inspired Cooking to White Barn Inn
On Saturday, Nov. 7, Smithereens chef-owner Nick Tamburo and White Barn Inn executive chef Cornelia Sühr will collaborate on a four-course dinner at White Barn Inn Restaurant. The event frames their meeting around Maine traditions.
Maine as a sourcing lens
White Barn Inn describes its restaurant cooking as a contemporary interpretation of New England cuisine, built around seasonal ingredients from coastal Maine and the surrounding region. Its established relationships with farmers, fishermen and foragers help explain the local emphasis behind this dinner’s theme, without identifying what will be served.

Two chefs, one announced collaboration
Smithereens is a New York City restaurant, and Tamburo is its chef-owner. White Barn Inn’s profile of Sühr describes a globally informed approach shaped by seasonality, restraint, technical precision and respect for ingredients. The dinner announcement brings their culinary visions together but does not assign particular courses to either chef.
The broader announcement also names Smithereens partner and beverage director Nikita Malhotra as part of the restaurant’s two-day visit to White Barn Inn. It does not specify Malhotra’s role at this dinner or who will lead the optional wine pairing.
