Our founder, Clara Park has conducted culinary demos on everything from killer chocolate desserts to Culinary Medicine (aka food as medicine). If you’d rather sit back and let the experts handle the cooking, our pop-up dinners are a unique dining experience centered around a particular theme. Past pop-up dinners have included “Mexican-Korean Taco Fiesta Party” and a chef tasting menu paired with storytelling called, “The Story of My Life” where each course featured a dish from a particular period of the chef’s career.
