Tavel is a mentor of mine is one of the most deserving chefs I could think of. As a FOH manager of one of his restaurants he made time for me weekly to talk about leadership and how to mentor other people and grow our community.

Chubby Fish is outstanding. My favorite meal in 2022. If you can finagle a seat at the chefs counter the cooks will chat you up and share valuable intel. In a restaurant heavy city this little neighborhood joint is head and shoulders above them all.

I'm hoping to schedule this month's Fancy Dinner at Kisa - I've already got Resy reminders set in my calendar 🥲 🤞
