Trained by the renowned Culinary Institute of America, our chef for the evening hails from the hottest Michelin-starred establishments on the West Coast. His philosophy revolves around seasonal, local ingredients elevated by technique into a congruous progression—the best possible products chosen at the best possible time, cooked in the best possible way. “I like to retain natural shapes and flavors while playing with unexpected and new combinations. Supper goers should expect to be intrigued by what they eat, and have more than one preconception challenged by evening’s end.”

20% OF PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO RELIEF EFFORTS IN JAPAN.

Seating is limited, so PLEASE RSVP NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 4 by calling 972.824.5604! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Eda at [email protected]
