Chef Series 14.0 - Featuring Antonio Cortez Appling

Welcome to a new year and a new season of The Chef Series!

The Chef Series is a dope night of EATING: an educational and experiential pop up dinner with cooking presentations designed to share The Nest – A Brunch Joint’s unique approach to brunch dining.

A bit about the Chef…

Antonio has an Afro-Latino background and was born in Ohio…but raised 30 minutes from the Tijuana border in San Diego. He went to college in San Francisco during the mecca of Bay Area food culture in the early 2000’s. He has lived in Los Angeles County for the last 15 years in Long Beach and hopes to bring elements of ALL of these rich traditions to his Chef Series.

What can you expect from The Chef Series?

Chef Series is back! This February we are celebrating in a way that only we can do. With a menu highlighting the new year and the last part of the fall season and going into spring we think you will fall in love all over again. No matter what love looks like for you will be celebrated at Chef Series.

What’s on the menu?

course 1 cherry vanilla cola granita | Course 2 beet salad with burrata | course 3 steak and parmesan dip with garlic crostini | course 4 roasted brussels sprouts soup | course 5 shrimp tostada | course 6 french silk pie

What about the drinks?

All the drinks will be fun and inspired cocktails, mocktails and other libations that directly pair with the food.

Antonio can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 Years of The Nest than to curate and cook for his favorite event, with his favorite people (you)!
