We are excited to welcome Chef Mary (), our new pastry chef! She draws inspiration from her Chinese grandparents, who were bakers, & her grandmother, a Filipino housekeeper and cook.

“The way I look at food with my Filipino heritage is that food is meant to tell a story. It has to make sense. It is meant to be shared. I approach food by thinking of my favorite dish which is pork sinigang. It’s big. It’s sweet, salty, sour, and acidic. It’s balanced which is how all things in life should be.”
