Support emerging Asian American chefs this APHAM at this Little Tokyo dinner series with menus inspired by each chef’s identities and experiences. This Asian Pacific Heritage Month, the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center (JACCC) will host the Rising Chef Series, a set of weekday dinners ($180 per head) featuring three emerging Asian American chefs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with options for 5:30 and 8pm seatings. Each week will feature a different five-course prix fixe menu, a signature House of Suntory cocktail pairing, as well as pre-dinner access to JACCC’s Japanese garden lounge. Guests are encouraged to come early and enjoy the space, as dinner runs for only 90 minutes.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to fund culinary innovation and entrepreneurship in AAPI communities, including JACCC’s own in-house culinary arts program.
