For one night, the Frasca kitchen became a meeting place for two distinct culinary perspectives.
Chef Val Cantu and the Californios team traveled from San Francisco to cook alongside Chef Ian Palazzola and our team, creating a dinner shaped by conversation, curiosity, and the energy of working together.
As the first restaurant in the world to earn three Michelin stars for Mexican cuisine, Californios continues to expand the possibilities of fine dining. Experiencing Val and his team’s vision, precision, and generosity up close was a privilege.
Thank you to Chef Val, Chef Ian, and everyone from Californios and Frasca who made this remarkable evening possible.
