During that time\, she developed a style rooted in the classic techniques of Italy\, France\, and the Mediterranean. At the same time\, she draws subtle inspiration from Asian cuisine. \nOver the years\, Amy has worked alongside several acclaimed chefs and restaurants. In 2020\, she joined Wolfgang Puck’s culinary team for the 92nd Governors Ball and Oscars Red Carpet. In addition\, she has worked at: \n– Felix with Evan Funke (Venice\, CA) \n– Trust/Detention in Santa Ana with Chef Justin Werner (Santa Ana\, CA) \n– Les Petites Canailles with Julian Asseo (Paso Robles\, CA) \n– Pico with Drew Terp (Los Alamos\, CA) \nMore recently\, Amy has focused on California’s Central Coast. There\, she works as a private chef and serves as artistic director for Epicurean Santa Barbara and leads the kitchen at Gravesend Wine Merchant & Eatery in Paso Robles. \nShe loves old-world traditions. However\, she also embraces modern techniques. As a result\, her dishes feel both familiar and fresh\, with layered flavors and thoughtful presentation. \nRESERVE YOUR SEATS! \n \nWhat Is a Chef’s Counter Dinner?\nA Chef’s Counter is an elevated\, multi-course tasting experience. Instead of choosing from a menu\, guests place their trust in the chef. \nThe menu is revealed when you arrive. Because of this\, each course becomes part of the surprise. \nWhy no menu in advance? We love to surprise our guests\, and it allows diners to experience each dish without expectations. \nWhat can we promise? The food will be fantastic. \nOur team will know the menu ahead of time. Therefore\, we can help with questions or serious dietary restrictions. \nBecause these menus are highly specialized\, we politely decline most modifications. However\, please include any serious food allergies in your registration notes. \nRESERVE YOUR SEATS!
