Doug Adams, executive chef of Imperial, Vitaly Paley, co-owner of Imperial, and Mei Lin, winner of "Top Chef" season 12.
Though "Top Chef" is between seasons, fans of the show can still watch the chefs from season 12 in action.
On July 22 at 6:30 p.m., downtown Portland's Imperial and executive chef and "Top Chef" runner-up Doug Adams will host season 12 winner Mei Lin for a one-night-only four-course dinner in the restaurant's Monterosso room.
Each chef will prepare two courses for the dinner, including Adams' 24-hour short rib and Lin's signature congee which helped secure her win on the show.
The dinner is $150/person and includes food, beverage pairings and gratuity. To reserve a seat, call Imperial at 503-228-7222.
