WHAT YOU GET
All menus are created by Founder and Executive Chef, Vanessa Lauren, who has worked with several of LA’s top chefs including Ludo Lefebvre, Curtis Stone, Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo, Tim Carrey, Ben Ford, and Marcel Vigneron. In addition to working with amazing chefs, Vanessa has participated in several special events including cooking dinner at the James Beard House, Sundance Film Festival, Dinner Lab, and Summit at Sea.
