Since 2022, Puerto Rico's Chef's Garden has carried on with a simple ethos: "del huerto a tu mesa" or "from the orchard to your table." Day in and day out, chef Josiah Hernandez carries this mission forward, utilizing ingredients found in the Caribbean fused with the tropical tastes of Latin America. Since its inception, the restaurant has received notable awards, many of them in sustainability, including the Food Made Good certification from the Sustainable Restaurant Association and best sustainable restaurant in Latin America & Iberian Peninsula from Academia Iberoamericana de Gastronomía. And now, this celebrated restaurant is coming to New York for a special pop-up dinner.
From May 22 to May 24 at LUME Studios, Chef's Garden is bringing the flavors of the Caribbean to NYC. To give the full breadth of the cuisine, chef Hernandez will be joined by fellow Puerto Rican chefs: acclaimed pastry chef Alexa of Trigo Artisan Bake House and chef Dejanaira Torres of Claudia PR. Starting with a cocktail hour, the evening will continue with a seven-course menu, with the option to pair with wine or other non-alcoholic options. The meal will finish with a ceremonial tea service, complemented by a chat from the chef himself.
