Join our shared table and experience Chef Tu's unique brand of Vietnamese-California cuisine. Chef Tu cut his culinary teeth in the kitchens of some of the nation’s top restaurants, including Daniel, Acquerello and Chez Panisse; and across a wide range of cooking cultures - from the American culinary greats to classical European traditions. But it was what he calls “the memory of taste” that pulled him back to his roots: the practices, ingredients, techniques, and flavors of Vietnamese cuisines.
Farming Hope's Guest Chef Series celebrates food as a pathway to independence by inviting influential chefs to cook out of our community food hub, Refettorio San Francisco (RSF). RSF is a gathering space that addresses food security in a full-circle, community driven model. We offer paid, transitional job training to community members facing employment barriers such as homelessness or recent incarceration. These Apprentices then cook nutritious, culturally relevant meals free of charge for food insecure families.
Our Guest Chefs represent local food industry leaders that believe in our vision to create inclusive communities where all are needed, and that includes you! We need your support to make our work possible.
What better way to contribute than over a shared meal?
