The King Is Dead. Presented by Target.

An Elegant Disruption. A Celebration of Sustainable Provenance.

The phrase “The king is dead, long live the king!” dates back to the 15th century, simultaneously announcing the passing of one monarch while saluting the immediate ascension of the next.

“The King Is Dead” challenges this traditional cycle of succession. In an industry long dominated by a homogenous old guard passing torches of influence exclusively to those who mirror them, we are rewriting the lineage.

The Iconoclast Dinner Experience (IDE) is thrilled to partner with The FARM Institute for an event that disrupts the status quo. This collaboration centers Island-based sustainable agriculture and spotlights pioneering female culinary and beverage professionals as the true stars of the show.

The residency culminates with the 2026 Class of “The King Is Dead” developing an aspirational menu sourced entirely from Martha’s Vineyard ingredients, concluding in a festive, unforgettable outdoor celebration at The FARM Institute.
