The Standard honored artist Korakrit Arunanondchai, together with boychild and Alex Gvojic, to celebrate their inclusion in the 58th Venice Biennale and the 2019 Whitney Biennial, with a dinner at the Standard Grill, helmed by newly appointed Executive Chef, Rocco di Spirito. Guests enjoyed instant classics from di Spirito’s Standard Grill offering – including tuna tartare, wild shrimp, white asparagus, black seabass, boneless ribeye steak, local sea scallops, and his strawberry take on the classic baked Alaska dessert.
