What many people don’t know is that there are three additional talented chefs in that kitchen who also have a vision and passion for creating culinary works of art.
At this Chefs’ Table, especially designed for Epicurean Santa Barbara, Peter Lee and each of his sous chefs and even the award-winning Mixologist Gavin Koehn are featuring courses in this menu! Each course will be accompanied by it’s designer and he/she will share the inspiration behind the flavor.
A welcome beverage is included with dinner and a wine pairing option designed by Gavin Koehn is also available. Additional beverages may be purchased during the dinner.
The evening will truly be a treat full of artistry and passion for food and beverages, all taking place on the private Loquita patio!
