UPDATE
Masters of Taste is postponed as we continue to help our community rebuild after the Eaton Fires.
In the meantime, we are excited to introduce Generous Plates—a one-night-only dining experience that brings the same spirit of culinary excellence and community in a more intimate and immersive setting.
