Grifter & Grape

Grifter & Grape Here to free your soul; one meal at a time. Since then, the seed was planted to do huge things.

Starting in 2007, Chef D began the journey into the grand culinary world by catering large Sunday dinners in support of the Osan Air Base Football Team in South Korea. She moved to Honolulu and attended Gros Bonet Culinary Academy where she learned everything from classical french cuisine to Asian Fusion. The main goal of Starving Gypsy is to be a cook for the people and give back to humanity one dish at a time.

With the changing of the tide came the overhaul of the business. Just like with The Starving Gypsy, there is a vein that runs throughout all things that I do. Grifter & Grape is no different and now you should understand why the totem is what it is.

Tonight was what I am going to call a “bookend” dinner. When I was back here in Austin, fresh off tour, even the creation process wasn’t enough to curb the empty. I struggled a great deal, out loud, with what the contamination of talent looked like and I made a plan to remember everything I had built.
This was a physical representation of not only the work that got me here, but the work that defines and drives my life. Per the usual, I did too much. I was able to catch a few pics of dishes fully formed and others in the making.
I put all this newly crafted inspiration on a plate and I just cooked my heart out.
I didn't have to shrink or tiptoe, stay silent, hide or allow others to fill in the blanks for me.
I could just be and recall that doing me..works.
For that, I am glad.

Thank you, NEXT!
💜🥰💜 🥰💜🥰

A busy couple of days coming up.
There's a great deal of prep work for an upcoming event as well as the pre-planning for next week's class that has many moving pieces.
Its the fun stuff though.
Just have to get the visions out of my head onto these pages and plates.
