👩🍳 About Your Chef
Chef Coral Strong's journey from watching her commercial fisherman father bring home the day's catch to creating her renowned Garden Kitchen restaurant (2015-2022) reflects her deep commitment to hyper-local, responsible sourcing. Her cooking philosophy was shaped by early experiences in Costa Rican communal kitchens, where she learned that the freshest ingredients and joyful preparation create the most memorable meals. Today, she continues to push the boundaries of local cuisine through her Bespoke dinner club and special events, crafting menus that celebrate what San Diego farms are growing each day.
In Partnership with Berry Good Food
This event proudly supports Berry Good Food's mission to create a thriving local and regenerative food system in San Diego and Baja California. Together, we're building bridges between farmers, chefs, scientists, and citizens while advocating for universal access to healthy food.
