The 6 available seats at the chef's table will be located in the kitchen of this unique and beautiful venue in the SF Mission district.
For this event series, I'll be collaborating with chefs and sommeliers that I have cooked with in the past or that I've worked closely with. We'll be featuring 6 courses of Filipino-inspired dishes using seasonal and locally sourced (when possible) ingredients. Some of the unique flavors of Filipino cuisine will be highlighted in this meal.
For this dinner, I have worked closely with Carlos to curate a menu to go along with the wine pairings for each course. Please see below for our menu. We hope to see you at our dinner!
