Blue Point Brewing Company Chef Anthony “AJ” DiGregorio will bring his approach to open-fire cooking to Dan’s Grill Hampton on Saturday, Aug. 8, where guests will have the chance to sample his food and vote in the event’s Top Grill Master competition.

A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, DiGregorio has worked in well-known New York kitchens including Tellers and Tribeca Grill. His approach to cooking was also shaped by growing up in a large family where meals served as a way to bring people together.

At Dan’s Grill Hampton, DiGregorio plans to serve Blue Point Toasted Lager-marinated skirt steak crostini topped with charred scallion chimichurri. The dish combines the brewery’s lager with live-fire cooking and the bright flavors of the herb sauce.

DiGregorio, a newcomer to this year’s event, said his goal goes beyond winning the title of Dan’s Top Grill Master. He hopes to serve guests a memorable bite that reflects the care and technique behind his cooking.

Dan’s Grill Hampton will take place Saturday, Aug. 8, at The ClubHouse Hamptons, bringing together Blue Point Brewing Company and chefs from across the East End for an evening of food and friendly competition. Guests will help select the Top Grill Master through voting.
