University Club Atop Symphony Towers - Chef's Seasonal Series
Chef's Seasonal Series Wednesday, January 15 | 5:30 pm $89++ with $30++ optional wine pairing upgrade It's 2025 and our Dinner Series are back! Prepare to embark on a remarkable culinary adventure with Executive Chef Frankie Becerra and his team! This year, we are focusing on the six seasons of food. The Six Seasons of Food offer a deeper understanding of how the changing weather influences the foods we eat and how we nourish our bodies. Spring is a time for light, detoxifying foods like leafy greens and fresh herbs, while summer calls for cooling, hydrating dishes such as fruits, cucumbers, and mint. During the monsoon, comfort foods like root vegetables, spices, and fried snacks help balance the humidity and aid digestion. Autumn brings rich, grounding produce like squash and apples, with hearty, warming dishes perfect for strengthening the body. Winter requires rich, fortifying foods like root vegetables, nuts, and stews to keep the body warm and energized. Finally, the spring transition focuses on light, cleansing foods such as greens and citrus to prepare the body for the renewal of the coming season. Limited Seating Available RSVP Required Modifications and substitutions politely declined.
