Native Restaurant, Santa Monica
Nobody embodies the multicultural food landscape of L.A. quite like Nyesha Arrington—a chef who learned how to make kimchi at the age of five from her Korean grandmother, worked under culinary titans like Joel Robuchon and earned a slew of accolades, including praise from Jonathan Gold, Zagat and countless other publications, before bringing it all together at Native, her fittingly named ode to the city. The Top Chef alum shared a taste of her roots with New York, when she joined us for our guest chef dinner in the Tasting Table Test Kitchen on Thursday, May 17th.
