An Evening at The Avery with Chefs Lee Anne Wong & Cal Elliott

Join us on July 16 for a one-night-only culinary collaboration celebrating the height of the season and the ingredients, producers, and stories that inspire exceptional cooking.
At The Avery Brasserie, James Beard Award Semifinalist Chef Cal Elliott welcomes acclaimed chef, restaurateur, and James Beard Award Semifinalist Lee Anne Wong of Honolulu's beloved Koko Head Cafe for an intimate evening shaped by a shared reverence for place and seasonality. Drawing from Chef Wong's experience cooking across Hawaii and Chef Elliott's thoughtful, ingredient-driven approach, the menu will highlight the peak flavors of summer through five courses that honor both local harvests and the relationships behind them.
The evening begins with a reception featuring seasonal cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres before guests gather for a collaborative five-course dinner. Throughout the experience, each chef's unique perspective, from Wong's globally influenced cuisine rooted in Hawaiian ingredients to Elliott's refined yet approachable style, comes together in a menu designed to celebrate the season at its most vibrant.
